She was such a wonderful lady. She and her husband and family used to visit mom and dad and us now and again. A lovely family. I saw her a few years ago at a Christmas thing in Baltimore.

Dear Peter and Catherine and families we are sending our heartfelt sympathy to you at this time. Mary was a vibrant and enthusiastic member of St Paul's Church Cold Springs and the community. She had a wonderful sense of humour and adventure, was always welcoming and kind. Mary was a role model to many women to show that it's never too late to do new things such as getting your driver's license. There are many fond memories we cherish of Mary singing and playing the piano, serving at dinners and doing the June Bug Dance with Dorothy Beedham. She loved to be out cutting her grass on her riding mower and took such pride in her home and surroundings. Mary looked great in whatever she was wearing. We have all been blessed to call her friend and neighbour. You are forever blessed to have her to call your Mom, Grandmother and Great Grandmother and all the love and memories she has bestowed upon each of you. Sandra & Wayne
My sympathy on the passing of your mother. She brought joy to our world. May she rest in peace.
I am very sorry for your loss. I would meet your parents when they were out and about, never too busy for a chat and catch up! Your family was blessed, and those pearly white wings are just glistening! Your mom was one of the best and they go straight up!

So sorry to hear of Mary's passing. Our families knew each other for all of my life. Sam worked with my late father at Curtis Products (Bruce Sandercock) and Sam/Mary were always such a big part of St. Paul's Church - Cold Springs. Mary playing the piano and singing in the choir and now she's singing in Heaven's choir and I'm sure she's playing lots of hymns with it being so close to Christmas. I remember seeing her put her coat and hat on the pew and off to the piano to start playing for those of us in attendance. Please accept our deepest sympathies and treasure the memories as they're truly a gift. Rest In Peace Mary.
