Mary Anne was born and raised in Regina. As a child she would spend the summers in Drinkwater, SK with numerous cousins. After marrying, she stayed at home to raise her children and later in life she changed careers and began working at Mutchmore Lodge and later at William Booth as a special care aide. Caring for the elderly was something that she took pride in which she learnt from her mother. It was only next to cheering on the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Mom also enjoyed singing in the choir at St. James United Church, spending time at the cottage, gardening and her love of cats, especially Lily.

 

The family would like to thank Parkside Extendicare and Dr. Lok for the years of care given to mom.
