Predeceased by her loving husband Malcolm. Beloved and proud mother of Donald (Shelley), Sheila and Heather (Roger). Proud Grandmother to Megan (Adam), Makayla, Calym, Lauren and Great Granddaughter Peyton, all of whom she proudly displayed in photos throughout her home. She is lovingly remembered by her brothers and sisters and many nieces and nephews in both Canada and Scotland. Mary will be sadly missed by all extended family and her many friends whom she shared many happy times. Mary was an enthusiastic teacher beginning her career at the tender age of 17, teaching for many different schools and finishing her career with the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB).
