Obituary of Mary Kathleen Daye

Mary Kathleen Daye of Calgary passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 12, 2005 at the age of 68 years. Mary lived an extraordinary life. Born in London, England her childhood experiences of World War II shaped a woman who could surpass any obstacle and find humour in all circumstances.
