Dear sister-in-law of Jill. Also remembered by her niece Jane, nephews Kane, Peter, Michael, Andrew, Benjamin, and many extended family and friends. Predeceased by her sister Rosie and her parents Joseph and Rosalia Schweder.
Mary was a loving mother, devoted family woman, and a faithful Catholic whose life was guided by her deep love for God. Her faith was an important part of who she was, and she carried it with her throughout her life.
She loved her family dearly, and her presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Although our hearts are broken by her passing, we find comfort in knowing that she is now at peace in the loving arms of our Lord.
May God welcome her into His heavenly kingdom, where there is no more pain or suffering, only eternal peace and love.
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the wonderful nurses, Dr. Adam Christopher and staff at Hospice Waterloo for the compassionate care, kindness, and love you showed our mom during her final days.
Cremation has taken place and a private time of remembrance has been held by the family. As expressions of sympathy, memorial donations would be appreciated to Hospice Waterloo Region, 100 Solstice Way, Waterloo, ON N2K 0G3 or to the Canadian Cancer Society, 55 St. Clair Ave. W., Suite 300, Toronto, ON M4V 2Y7.
