She is also survived by her grandchildren Jed, Shiloh, Rachel, David, Marina, Eric, Silvia & Vanessa. Mary loved her flowers, fruit, vegetables and trees in her garden and her horses and pure bred Holsteins. She loved her art and even as a child always had a pad and a pencil nearby. She attended art school in Florence before getting married, took art classes at UFV in the seventies, and was an active member of her church and the Mission Arts Council and the Federation of Canadian Artists. Mary travelled the world. Thank you to her care givers at Ebenezer Home, Bevan Lodge and more recently with the family at Mission Memorial Hospital, Helen Juntilla and Dorothy Fraser.
