I will always fondly remember the camping trips with Aunty Mary and my grandmother Eleanor. We only went twice… despite being a tame church-run bible camp I think my sister and I simply got a little too wild for them to handle. For two summers my parents happily handed us off and we camped outdoors for a week together. I remember Aunty Mary as soft-spoken, sweet, and kind, with endless patience for her rowdy nieces. I have loved hearing stories from our family about all of their memories and unique adventures with her. Rest in peace Aunty Mary.
Enjoy the reunion with your family Aunt Mary! Thanks for the memories,Oliver!,smelt fishing,teaching you to jive and do the modern dances of the day! God bless!❤️
I remember that my Aunt used to come stay overnight and I’d give her my bed. She wanted to give me a gift at Christmas to say thank you and asked my Mom what my favourite song was. Aunt Mary gave me a 45-record of Linda Ronstadt’s “Blue Bayou” which I loved. And I still have that 45! Every time I hear that song I think of Aunt Mary with love. It’s our song. Rest in peace my strong and independent Aunt, I love you.

I worked along side Mary for years at Brookside Y|outh Centre. We had shared many laughs over silly things that happened in the office. Yes, indeed she was a religious and gentle soul. Rest easy Mary, your work here is done. Jim M.
Eleanor sorry to hear you have lost your sister condolances to you
I feel so sorry about the loss of Mary from your family. She was truly a remarkable woman and friend to me for over 30 years. Her resiliance and determination were an example for all those around her in the Oshawa area. She demonstrated faith and integrity in her work and relationships and was always steadfast and reliable. It was an honour to know her.
Eleanor Tom & family I’m so sorry to hear of Mary’s passing my thoughts & prayers are with you
So sorry to the Chalovich family on the loss of Mary Ann. It sounds like she had a nice full life with her love of dancing and animals. RIP
