Mary was well known as a cook in Taber’s old time cafes including Rex, Petries Pantry and The Shanghi. She was a gardener, a great “home cook” and a generous friend to anyone needing a big hug or a warm meal. Her door was always open and her table was always set. She had a great sense of humour and loved to use the “full range” of the English language. Mary loved cards, bingo and any other game of chance. She was a proud lifetime member of the Royal Canadian Legion and a faithful supporter of the Catholic Women’s League. Mary will be missed by all who knew her.
