Mary and I started our nursing training on the same day and in the same class. Even when the classes split into their different directions, Mary remained interested and caring about her colleagues that she no longer saw on a daily basi, and this has continued for almost 40 years.
As a Nurse Mary was outstanding, and well regarded by her patients and peers
As a person, lovely, gentle, and caring. What a huge loss, to you, and to all who knew her. I feel blessed to have done so
Fly high Mary, may you forever rest in peace.

We grew together amongst a bunch of young ones in the good-natured village of Wallaceville.
That was forty-plus years ago. Formative years, first careers, explored options, shared experiences and finding friends…some for life…
Amongst distance and family and work, from time to time, a reconnection.
With a hug and kiss on the happy occasion of meeting up again, so refreshing, in so many ways.
You embodied empathy, perhaps the hardest of habits. I worry whether I acknowledged it enough or not.
But without question, one of the foundation blocks my life and many others, are built-on… is you.
Condolences to warren and family, Mary’s loss will leave a huge hole in the lives of all those who new her. Gone far too soon I remember Mary as a quiet gentle and caring lady who I also had the pleasure of working with mary years ago as well may she rest in peace .
