Mary Elizabeth (Gall) Tweedie

Mary Tweedie embraced life right to the end. Devoted to her family, dedicated to her friends, she was happiest among those close to her. But she also loved meeting new people and saw a room full of strangers as an opportunity to make new friends. Life threw a lot at her in the last few years, but her spirits never flagged and she maintained a positive attitude in spite of her disabilities. She was a good person who led a good life.

Born in Toronto 91 years ago, Mary married Dr. Frederick John (Ted) Tweedie of Chatham, New Brunswick, while he was serving in the navy in 1943. They settled in Montreal after the war. They lived in the city for about thirty years and then moved to Hudson, Quebec.

Mary was predeceased 25 years ago by her husband. When she thought about Ted, which was often, she smiled the smile of fond memories.

She leaves behind four children, Kathie, John, David and Charlotte, her wonderful grandson Spencer, many nephews and nieces and two sisters-in-law.

Our heart-felt appreciation and thanks to the kind and professional staff at Chateau Westmount where she spent the last four years of her life and to Dr. Paul Lysy, her physician for the last 12 years. Special thanks to Alice Laplante for her care, comfort and friendship.

Visitation at the Collins Clarke MacGillivray White funeral home at 5610 Sherbrooke Street West, Montreal, on Monday, March 11th, from 2-4 and 7-9 PM. The funeral service will held in the chapel at the same location on Tuesday, March 12th, at 2 PM.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to fight Parkinson Disease, a debilitating illness that she did not have, but which has touched the family.
