Mary passed away peacefully at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary, AB on Friday, December 24, 2021 at the age of 78 years.
Mary was born and raised near Czestochowa, Poland. In 1962, she met and married her soulmate Walter and within the same year they immigrated to Canada, settling in West Hillhurst, Calgary, AB. A few years later, they welcomed their beloved daughter, Teresa. Mary worked with her husband at Chicken On The Way on 14th St. N.W. for a decade, but her true calling was as a mother and homemaker. Mary enjoyed cooking Polish cuisine and spent many happy hours tending to her garden, which she took great pride in. Church was a big part of Mary’s life and she was a 30-year member of the Our Lady Queen of Peace Polish Catholic Church.
She is lovingly remembered by her daughter Teresa in Calgary, her sister Anja, in Poland, as well other family members in Poland. Mary was predeceased by her husband Walter in 2009 and her parents Peter and Maria Kuharek.
