Mary was born in Volynia Poland (now Ukraine) July 19, 1938.

Mary met her husband Walter through a mutual friend. They were married in April 1967 and moved to their farm in Ravensworth in the Minitonas area.  They welcomed their sons Aldrich in June 1968, Christiaan in February 1970, and their chosen Daughter Audrey joined the family in 1974.

Mary and Walter enjoyed many years of supporting and cheering on their children’s activities and being active in their church. 

Besides being a full-time mom and living on a farm she worked at the Swan Valley Hospital. 

She eventually moved to the village of Minitonas where she resided until her passing.

Upon retirement Mary loved spending time with family and many many friends.  There was always a place at her table and each person held a special place in her heart.
