She is survived by her loving family: two daughters, Josie (Ruben) of Vernon and Rosie (Anton) of Armstrong; two sons, Kurtis (Debbie) of Vernon and Roger (Sonja) of Terrace; two granddaughters, Erin and Ellen; five sisters, four brothers, numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Mary was predeceased by her husband, Ike, in 1989 and by seven brothers and one sister.
Mom loved to watch baseball. She played softball and was a much sought after pitcher. She also
listened to ‘Hockey Night in Canada’ on the radio. Mom was an incredibly hard worker. She hit the floor everyday – running. She loved cooking large meals and baking - lots of bread. After her retirement, Mom travelled extensively; Russia, Phillipines, Spain, Portugal, Mexico, cruised the Carribean and Alaska. Her favourite trip was travelling Canada coast to coast.
The Celebration of Life for Mary will be held on Wednesday, July 20th, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. in the chapel of Pleasant Valley Funeral Home with Rev. Bob Thompson officiating.
In lieu of flowers, those friends wishing to make memorial contributions in memory of Mary may do so to the Heart & Stroke Foundation, #4, 1551 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, BC V1Y 9M9.
