I loved visiting with Mary and Gearing I appreciated her sense of humour, honestly and sarcasm. She was so fun A great lady !! One of a kind Blessed that I got to know her. My deepest condolences
I am going to miss Mary. Gearing and the rest of the family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Mary was a firecracker! I'll miss our visits filled with laughter (mostly at my expense). Getting to know her over the last 3 years was very special. I loved watching how much and how deeply she loved you, Gearing. It was beautiful - even when it was ear piercingly loud! So many wonderful and fun memories to hold close.
Dear Gearing and family, I am sorry to hear of Mary's passing and extend to you my condolences. She was a remarkable person and I enjoyed a number of chats with her over the years. Sincerely Anne Burnham

Mary was always a fun person to be with. I enjoyed our outings before covid. My thoughts go out to Gearing and the rest of the family.
sorry to hear of Marys passing
Our heartfelt condolences go out to Gearing. Mary was in my classes at the Jack Burger Pool a number of years ago and she was such a great character, brightened up the pool. A great lady, she will be missed. Pat and Michael
We send our condolences. Aunt Mary was truly a character and a self-determined person who led an interesting life. She always took an interest in what we were doing, and the kids too. She delivered countless art supplies over the years which have inspired many a creation in our home. She even attended an afternoon of Art Camp in our backyard filled with about 30 kids! Mary came for Thanksgiving dinner sometimes over the years and loved a great vegetarian meal, even though she said the coffee was too strong. :) . I grew up with her around a lot as she was often with Clara, or at the trailer in Buckhorn, sharing bowls of strawberries and trips into town for frozen yoghurt. She was always up for an adventure, even coming to spend the weekend at the pink cottages in Fenelon Falls with us only a few years ago. She could be very frank, but also very generous. We will miss her giant laugh.
Sorry to hear about Mary. She was a nice lady, my thoughts go out to your family at this most difficult time.
This is very sad news… 3 months after the passing of Aunt Clara. I proudly have a painting Aunt Mary made for me displayed in my home. I remember her giving me advice on my drawings when I was a teenager. I hope to celebrate her life with those she loved at the end of the month. May she Rest In Peace.
I am very sad to hear of Mary's passing. I always enjoyed Mary's sense of Humour and her great laugh when had the privilege of having her painting at the table next to mine. I know we all missed her over the past few years when we were not gathering to paint and will miss her more now we know she is no longer with us.
Now who, at the Pine Ridge Art Club is going to say "...you need some red in that picture!" Mary I will miss our chats about paintings, gardening, etc., and remember those trips to the Buckhorn Art Shows and McMichael Art Gallery. I'm just sad that Covid made a gap in those chats, and I didn't get to see you before you left us. Rest in peace.
My condolences to all. Thinking of you at this difficult time.
