Mary loved her community
of Lanark, where she was born and raised and chose to raise her
family. She enjoyed the company of the neighbours in Lanark, going to
dances, playing cards, politics, and of course her
"stories".

Michael, Madeleine, Courtenay, and Leah; and brother and
sister-in-laws Eddie, Hughie (Margaret Ann), Blaise (Martine), Jerome
(Judy), and Florence McCarron.

Mary was also predeceased by brother and sister-in-laws, Peter Troyer, Mary McCormick, Sadie MacGillivray, Marie Walschot, Rita Cavanaugh, Phyllis MacGillivray, Evelyn Chisholm, John McCarron, and Leo McCarron.
