Mary was an avid cook. You could often find her in the garden or the kitchen. She enjoyed Bingo, crocheting, and was a very proud member of the community of Boyle. She was the heart of the home and center of a family that will miss her dearly. At Pete and Mary’s, the door was always open, and the coffee was always on. Everyone was welcome and Mary could make a perfect stranger feel right at home. A heart of gold and infectious laugh there truly was no one like her. 

 A Funeral Service will take place on Saturday October 18, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., at the Boyle Community Centre with a visitation one hour prior.

Interment to follow at the Boyle Municipal Cemetery.    

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Boyle & District Senior Citizens Association P.O. Box 219 Boyle, Alberta T0A 0M0
