In her earlier years, she was a Girl Guide leader and later she was employed at the Digby Tourism Information Center. She was a member of the Bear River United Baptist Church, past Church clerk, choir member and choir director.
Mary loved music and singing, and many will remember her sharing her beautiful soprano voice at church and community events throughout her life. Mary and her husband Jim enjoyed many happy years together playing badminton at Oakdene in the early years, going to camp, and going on snowmobile trips with friends. After Jim’s untimely passing in 1982, Mary continued to be very active in her church. She always enjoyed a good cup of tea, and anyone dropping in would know the kettle would be plugged in immediately and a pot of tea would be on the go. The family would like to express gratitude and appreciation to those who cared for her over the past few years – in particular, Jackie Kenrick, Digby, and the staff at Grand View Manor in Berwick.
Surviving are daughters Cynthia “Cindy” Harris, Bear River; Heather (Earl) Harris- Woodworth, Martins River, Lunenburg Co; Marieca Harris, Wooster, Ohio; sister Linda Gullon, 4 grandchildren, Elizabeth, Maris, Harrison, Chance and great grandson Wylie. She was predeceased by her husband James C. Harris and sister Sheila Parker.
