Mary (Morse) was born December 26, 1919 on the family farm in the Kayville District. Mary enjoyed baseball in her younger years, curling, music, knitting, needlework, crocheting, vegetable gardening and flowers. She belonged to the Homemakers Club and the Kayville Ladies Curling Club where she was president for many years. Mary enjoyed cooking and visiting with family and friends. Anyone who came to visit enjoyed her baking – you never went away hungry.

Mary married Jacob Brandt in Kayville, Sask. in 1939. Following their marriage they made their home on the farm. In 1956 they moved to the town of Kayville. In 1976, Jake and Mary retired from farming, then sold their home in Kayville and moved to the town of Assiniboia.

Mary loved her family and friends and grandchildren in her later years, when her great-grandchildren Tyson, Taylor, Jalen, Joshua, and Jacob came to visit it was a special day.

Mary is predeceased by her husband Jacob, brothers Con (Molly), Peter (Ann), and George (Eva); sisters Tilley, Annie (Fritz), Doris (Alex), and Lena (John).
