She truly made going to work everyday an absolute pleasure and was one of the many people who made it feel like it wasn’t work at all. Mary and Winnie, you both hold such special places in my heart, and I feel so honoured and privileged that I was blessed enough to get to know you both. Mary continues to live on in you, Winnie. Sending all my
Love, please don’t be a stranger to the lodge, Winnie!
Scott, Gina and girls! So sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. However we have this confidence, “ Absent from this earthly body, means we are immediately in the presence of the LORD”. Today she’s singing with the angels in worship of her Lord and Savior,. Praying your hearts will be comforted with the hope of one day being united for all eternity with all your loved ones who have gone ahead.
Your friend and neighbor. Lily

To the King family:
Mary was such a beautiful lady, so loving and caring. I got to see her quite often when I played for the home’s chapel services. Her voice was a pleasure to listen to and she loved singing. May all your memories help you as you face the future without her. God bless you all.
Fay Hudson
It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our beautiful Mary.
Mary, the usual adjectives of kind, loving, and caring do not come close to describing the radiant spirit which was you. Your positive energy and strength was inspiring to everyone. Smiling,, even through your pain. Always thinking of others first.
Mary, God has called you to join the angels in heaven. Your time of earth has given great joy to those who have worked in your presence. Nothing will be same without you.. I can almost hear you say, “ don’t be so foolish “.
There are no words. May God bless Mary’s beautiful family at this trying time. We will miss the daily visits of your devoted daughter each and every day. It was lovely to witness such a bond. Jesus is waiting to embrace you in his arms. An angel on earth is now in heaven. Watching over those she loved.
Mary, I will miss you. Thank you for your guidance and support. Be at peace.

She will live on in your hearts and the many wonderful memories you shared with her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all the King family during this difficult time.

Very sorry to hear about your mom’s passing. Our deepest, most sincere condolences to you all. It’s always sad when you lose a loved one, especially your parents. Your mom was a good hearted person with a great sense of humor and most of all she had a beuatiful soul.
She lived every day to the fullest and what a blessed long life it has been. Your mom certainly left an unforgetable legacy in all of you left behind and future generations. It was an honor to have known her.
Thinking of you,
