Mary Luella Larsen

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mary Lue Larsen. She will be forever missed by her beloved husband Carl, her children Curtis (Jane), Craig (Carol), Anita (Patrick Labron) and her 6 grandchildren that she loved spending time with Matthew & Joel Larsen, Alex & Josh Larsen, Jason & Sierra Labron. She was predeceased by her parents Lauretta Baxter (Downey) and Alexander Baxter in 1980 and her brother Lee Baxter in 2015.

Born in Hamiota Manitoba, her family moved to North Vancouver when she was just 2 years old. She attended Queen Mary Elementary and North Van High. After graduation she moved to Victoria to work for the Ministry of Children & Family. While in Victoria, she met Carl who was in the Navy. They were married on October 7, 1961. They moved back to the lower mainland and eventually settled in North Vancouver where they raised their family.

Mary Lue worked for 30 + years at BC Tel/Telus doing numerous jobs (in many departments). After retiring she would join Carl on business trips all over BC. As Carl worked less and eventually retired they enjoyed travelling to Europe, cruising and extended trips to Arizona and California to join up with relatives and friends. She also stayed close with family and friends all over BC, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and visited them often until she could no longer travel.

Mary Lue was known for her smile, sense of humor and rarely holding back from speaking her mind. For years, Carl and Mary Lue could be spotted on their daily walks along Mount Seymour Parkway.

A small family service was held. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Heart & Stoke Foundation of BC. https://tinyurl.com/HrtandSDonate
