Heaven gained another beautiful angel, and she’s bringing a little extra sparkle with her.

On Friday, October 30th, Mary passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind broken hearts, countless memories, and a lifetime of love.

A loving mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, Mary had a green thumb and could often be found tending to her garden or knitting. She loved sharing her handmade creations, especially her signature slippers, with people near and far. Without a doubt, she was the queen of crafting.

Mary had a special way of spreading joy, kindness, and stories wherever she went. Her purse was always filled with pictures she proudly shared, and her laugh felt like the warmest hug. She was equal parts spicy and sweet, had a personality all her own, and loved her family fiercely.

She leaves behind her loving sons, Matthew and Tyler; daughters-in-laws, Jen and Crystal; and grandchildren, Addi, Olivia, and Sydney. She is also survived by her beloved siblings, Bill (Pearl) and Pauline Scott as well as nieces Michelle, Francine, Celine, Jennee and nephews Emerson and Derek.

She missed her Gerry every moment of every day, and we find comfort in imagining them reunited once again.

It’s the little things that made her so wonderfully Mary that we will hold closest to our hearts forever. Her laughter, her stories, her crafts, her garden, and the love she shared will never be forgotten. She may no longer be with us, but the memories and pieces of her that live on in all of us will remain forever. 

A celebration of Mary’s life will be held on Friday, December 11th at 11:00 AM at Maple Ridge Funeral Chapel. Family and friends are welcome to join us as we remember, honour, and celebrate a truly special woman.
