Condolences
Dear Fenwick family,
I have just recently learned of Mary's passing.
A world without Mary Fenwick... Seems impossible:)
She was so alive and engaged, even at 98 years old.
I had been touch in so many positive ways over my entire lifetime, by her (and Fred)
I bumped into them over the years when my choirs found ourselves singing at the place(s) where they were staying.
Always delightful and full of news, she shared of her return to piano lessons and the joy that she felt as she learned to play again:)
When I saw her at Royal Park, she struck up conversation and we caught up a little on family matters.
It felt so good to reconnect!
She was like that.
The world felt like a better place just by talking to her:).
I am sorry that I missed her service.
I would have loved to be there to say good bye.
My heartfelt condolences to the family... praying as you heal...
I was deeply saddened upon hearing of Mary's death. I have known both Mary & Fred for many years from our church.
Mary was such a joy and a pleasant woman whom always had a smile on her face and kinds words that exited her lips. She was a woman that lifted your soul by merely seeing her.
Mary has left a Marked impression on myself and my family. After years of knowing Mary, I had the honor of selling their beautiful family home. Mary told me she hoped to sell the house to a nice family that will love it and care for it like they did. That is exactly what happened, it was sold to a family that loved and would care for the house just like they did. Years after selling their house, Mary told me that she still gets the odd note from the new owners filling her in on what they have done to the house and how much they loved it.
Mary had a special relationship with our youngest daughter, Rebecca. Many years ago our church had a "Secret Pal Project". This was an attempt for the young children to connect with the elder parishioners. With only code names for each other Petunia(Rebecca) and Daffodil(Mary) would exchange letters until the final reveal day at church. They made an instant connection and had a special bond, that would remain well after the project was over.
Funny story. Earlier I mentioned Mary's "death". That word was intentionally used. Mary told me a story of when a woman came to interview her about her life. This woman started by saying to Mary, "how long has it been since you lost Fred"? She said I stopped her right there and I had to tell her, "oh, I didn't lose Fred, he died, I know exactly where he is"!!!
Whenever I think of Mary or speak of her, it brings a big smile to my face and it warms my heart.
Love and blessings to the family.
We are deeply saddened with the news of Mary's passing.
In a friendship over the years we engaged in many social activities
and discussion on many topics.
Her excellent dinners were always something to look forward to.
Mary, Bo,.Helga and I played many gamed of golf and Fred named
us the girls of summer.
She will be missed by all who knew her.

It is with the deepest sadness that I learned of Mary's passing. Mary attended piano lessons with me for several years at Mount Royal Conservatory and I know how much lessons meant to her. Teaching Mary was an absolute joy and a highlight of my week. Indeed, many of our lessons were 'lessons on life' and I so enjoyed Mary's stories, her jokes, her optimistic recollections of growing up during the Depression, and her infectious joy. I remember always coming home and sharing the stories that Mary had told me with my husband. I gave Mary piano lessons but she gave me life lessons. Mary was an absolute delight; eternally optimistic, ever curious, without even an ounce of negativity. She was a model human being; should we all be blessed with her extraordinary positive attitude and gracious attitude towards life.
My deepest condolences to Mary's family; her enduring spirit will be missed by all who knew her.
Barb,
I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your Mom.
I remember working with her and seeing and talking with her at Alumni events.
She was always so cheerful and full of life.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers
Blessings, Marg McCulloch
