Passed away peacefully on October 12, 2019 at the age of 91. Dear mother of Jill Sarluis (Alexis), Rod Strickland (Vera), and Lou Strickland. Cherished grandmother of Christine (Mike), Jason (Tracey), Riley (Natasha), Emma, Megan, Cate, Zachary. Beloved great grandmother of Charlotte and Matthew. Sister to Margaret Gale and Phyllis Morrill. Mary attended Walkerville Collegiate, Grace Hospital Nursing, and the University of Windsor, School of Music. In life music was her guiding light, as a piano teacher, an organist at Glenwood United Church, singing in choirs at Lincoln Road United Church, All Saints Church, The University Singers and the Windsor Symphony Chorus. If there was classical music Mary was there.
