Mary shared her life in Calgary with her sister Chris (Arto), her brother Will (Fran) and her nephews, Andrew, Jeff and Richard Bone. The Quebec group – with whom Mary loved to visit, Louise and Georges, Suzanne and the late Elisabeth. Paul, her beau-frère, lives in Quebec City, PQ. Her best friends, Sally Goss and Janie Kelly, living in Halifax, NS and Kingston, ON were always but a phone call away.
