I met Mary in 1997 when I joined the Calgary Metal Detecting Club. She’d been a longtime member and was very active with her daughter Wendy. Mary was a warm and friendly woman who had a great sense of humor. She always had time for people and her kind smile and intelligent insights will be missed. I would always greet her with a kiss on the cheek and a hug. She would show genuine interest in the finds that others would exhibit at the monthly meetings and always listened intently to the treasure stories shared by other members. This lovely, refined lady will be greatly missed. My prayers are with Wendy and the rest of the family. May God comfort you with His love and mercy at this time. Sorry we’ll miss the privilege of honouring her in person but we’ll be out of the country on Friday.
God bless you and keep you, John Syratt
