Such a blessing to have known Mary, and to call her my friend. 60 years ago, I grew up in Noble Park my mum friends with Mary, went to school with Joanne. Years later moved to Pearcedale, my daughter went to school with Chris. I think my daughter went to High School with Chris’s wife. I taught RE, for 11 years with Mary,went to same church and socialised with Mary. Mary has sewn for my family, prayed for us, and blessed me with a rich friendship that I truly valued and will miss. My love to you all at this time, and heartfelt thoughts. Love from Bronwyn and family ❤️

It was such a privilege to be with all of you yesterday. A beautiful send off for a lovely lady. I only met her 8 years ago being part of a Gateway Life group who met in her home fortnightly. She had nurtured a wonderful family as it showed in your loving tributes to her. Looking after all of you was her joy in life. We will miss her greatly as will you. Love to all

It is rare for me to leave a celebration of a persons life with new convictions as to the type of person I want to be. I did today. I imagine Mary would smile about that. She was such a beautiful lady. And no, I’m not referring to taking up smacking my kids (although it is tempting!) It is beautiful to hear so many people say they felt loved by Mary. I think that is true success in life. Much love and condolences to all her family
