On behalf of the auxiliary and myself, deepest sympathy. We were so shocked to hear of Mary's passing. She was a wonderful person, always so pleasant, a good member of the Auxiliary, always there with her baked goods for our three bake sales and the Tree of Memories and there to lend a helping hand. Her sense of humor was great. On the Occasion of our Auxiliary Convention in 2017 in Grand Falls/Windsor, she won the 50/50 draw and offered to buy breakfast for our group on Sunday morning. Following our Memorial Service, we went to the dining room and Mary said "breakfast is on me". I was sitting directly across from her and told her that wasn't necessary. With that lovely smile of hers and a little chuckle she pointed her finger at me and said " Gladys, I am older than you so I can tell you to shut up, order your breakfast and enjoy" We all got such a laugh at that. She was a dedicated member of the Auxiliary and example is this: On April 9th, 2018, the worst storm of the winter, our monthly meeting was scheduled at Sobeys Community room and Mary was to bring lunch. I called all the members to cancel, however due to a mix up in telephone numbers, Mary did not get the message.. She made lunch, got to Sobeys, only to find she was the only one there. She would not take the lunch back home , so she treated the Sobeys staff. I felt terrible but Mary just laughed it off.
You will surely be missed Mary. You were loved by all of us. Rest in Peace. All Auxiliary Members.
