It is with profound sadness the family of Mary (Molly) Catherine Brewer wish to announce her peaceful passing on May 5, 2020 at 10:20am, in her 97th year. Born in Neil’s Harbour, Mary lived in Ingonish Beach, with her husband James Brewer before he passed in 1960. In Dec 1942, he shipped off to war leaving her expecting their first child not knowing if he would return. Life wasn't always easy.
She is survived by daughters, Alexis Mossman (Vern), Carmen Mobbs (Ferguson), Ruth- Ann Muldoon (Terry), 8 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren, and 8 great great grandchildren many neices and nephews, sisters , Theresa Robinson, Donna Murphy (Hector). She was the daughter late George Ed and Margaret McGean of Ingonish Centre.
She was predeceased by her husband Jim, Son Dennis, daughter Virginia Hines (Brewer) grandsons Stephen Donovan, Shane Mobbs, brothers, Amos McGean, Leo, Simon, Jack and Bill, and sisters, Adeline Cousins, Hattie Morrison.
She was a member of St Peters Catholic Church in Ingonish. Through many ups and downs she fought her way through trouble and strife with unshakable faith in God; always with prayer beads in her hands. Mom loved to give to others, making uncountable pairs of slippers, dish cloths & bread, all made with great love to be given to others who helped her in some way. She was loved by everyone.
There are no words to thank the staff members at Highland Manor Nursing Home. They are angels in disguise.

Cremation is in the care of Fillmore & Whitman Funeral Home, Sydney Mines. Memories and condolences may be forwarded to the family by visiting www.fillmoreandwhitman.com.
