Mary Jean was born in Red Deer yet travelled extensively throughout her life having lived in such places as Syria, Egypt and the United States. Though she had many fond memories of her
travels and numerous camping trips with friends, family, and her husband, Wayne. No matter how far she, Wayne, or their children wandered, they always found their way home for Christmas, a season she held closest to her heart and filled with love, warmth, and cherished traditions.

A Celebration of Mary Jean’s life will be held on June 27 at 1:00 pm at the Royal Canadian Legion in Lacombe, Alberta. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made directly to the Canadian Cancer Society or a charity of your own choice.

The family extends their deepest gratitude to the hospital staff and paramedics in both Lacombe and Red Deer, whose care and kindness brought comfort during such a difficult time.
