My mum Claire was Mary's table mate @ Sunrise & I loved our connections! She was always full of great stories & much mischief! She called me Mrs Green & always had a wave & a greeting whenever she saw me....Mum is missing her as am I...we are holding you all fast as you say your goodbyes....rest well dear Mary

Rose & Claire Hunter

Mary was one of the most special ladies I have ever met. We instantly became friends when we met at the Credit Union many years ago. She always needed to know how everyone was doing in my family and what my 2 boys were up too. I only ever met Liz but she talked about her family so often I felt like I knew everyone. I will truly miss our phone calls where we always had lots of giggles and she would always end the call with "you take care pet". Condolences to the family, she was one of the best. Jodi Mckeown

Hi, I am one of the Wellness Nurses at Sunrise. 
From the first time Mary and I met she gave me a nickname that stuck. She called me my "Miss pink Lady". She loved the fact that I showed up at work every single day wearing pink. She had such good giggles over it while we were admiring each other's pink things. I will never forget her beautiful blue eyes lighting up every time she'd see me in my pink outfits and say Hello miss pink Lady, with her signature  beautiful, wide smile. Often gave her hugs that she loved so much. 
In a way she reminded me of my own grandma who was a tough cookie with a giant heart. We had many smiles and giggles together here at Sunrise and when I come to work I still very much miss her little voice calling out: hello miss pink Lady. Mary has left an empty spot in our hearts here at Sunrise. She was well loved and very much being missed now.
My deepest condolences for all of her loved ones, family and friends. She will stay in our hearts.
Love, 
Aniko, LPN

Dearest Granny
Rest in peace with God at last 💕💕💕  -it has been such a journey for you especially in latter years. 
Our whole family is so grateful that you found Sunrise and the care you have found there.  Above all I am so glad you got to experience such a busy and social schedule after so long on your own in a very quiet world! So often when I called you were too busy to talk with all your activities - I thought it was amazing! It was like you were having your university social time at 95!! Brilliant! 😂🥂🌟
Although it was hard to be together physically we had a wonderful "long-distance" relationship filled with silly stories of you being an international spy master pulling all the geo-political strings while looking like such an innocent and sweet old lady haha! I loved it and so did you.  We would often be in hysterics on the phone and I would be laughing for hours afterwards - we had fun.
In my hardest times you were an incredible support to me - you never questioned me and you loved me when I was so insecure in myself and in who I was - I will always be so grateful for that love and steadfastness when I really needed it. I never expected it given your generation - but you gave such love and strength to me - I will always be deeply grateful as it helped me to find my own way forward.
You were a great role model for 'no self pity' - "set the oven timer for 5 minutes and go for it - then give yourself a smack and get up and do something" haha - wonderful advice. We would laugh about that too and the wallowing and then the big smack and then get busy girl!
Thank you so much Granny for all that you did and gave to me in life. Please rest easy now and be at peace. Much love to you - always in my heart and memory  xx Claire 💕💕

I feel very fortunate to have had the privilege of meeting Ben’s grandmother, as she meant a great deal to him. I really enjoyed our conversations about our Gaelic roots and sharing a laugh as Ben struggled to follow the thickened Irish/Scottish accent. I'm also deeply grateful that Charlotte Mary had the chance to meet her great-grandmother, and that we were able to capture such special moments, like when you sang to her.
Rest in peace, Granny.
