Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Hall Funeral Services, Estevan. Mary loved her family unconditionally and her entire life was devoted to her family. Mary especially loved the "little ones" and called them "her babies". She was a loving sister, wife, mother and grandmother. She was a good and kind soul who always sought to be a friend and lend a helping hand. Mary was a very capable homemaker who loved to bake and sew. She would sew into the wee hours of the morning and had probably laid claim to well over a thousand quilts. Mary was always so open and accepting but most of all she was always happy. She was a remarkable woman who lived life to the fullest. She loved life and embraced it whole -heartedly. Not once did she ever want to be a burden. For many years Mary suffered from health issues but despite it all, her faith in God remained unshaken. She believed in the Lord with all her might. The family takes comfort in the knowledge that she is with Jesus; and her husband, Jack; her son, Kenny; and many others that have gone before her.
