Born: November 10th, 1922, Hopwas, England; Died: April 12th, 2025, Toronto, Canada.
We are deeply saddened by the death of our mother, our grandmother, on April 12th, 2025. Predeceased by her husband Desmond in 2000, she is survived by her children Hugh and Susan, grandchildren Genevieve and Kyra, and many close friends and relatives.
Mary grew up in Hopwas, England and by the end of the Second World War was a physiotherapist at Charing Cross Hospital in London. Once the war was over, she and her best friend decided they wanted to travel around the world and so they hopped on a boat and came to Canada via New York. They found jobs as physiotherapists in Saskatoon and in the early 50s, Mary met her future husband and so decided to stay. Mary and Desmond were married in 1957 and moved to Toronto where he had a job as a Professor of Classics at the University of Toronto and she raised her family. She loved to play tennis and rode her bike everywhere. She was very active in the community and in her local church. She lived in her house on Manor Road until moving to Briton House at the age of 90. Mary will be remembered for her warmth, her generosity, and her sense of humour.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the wonderful staff at the Briton House who cared for her with kindness and empathy.
A celebration of life will be held at the Church of the Transfiguration in Toronto at 11.30 AM on June 26th, 2025. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Desmond Conacher Scholarship at The Classical Association of Canada.

In humility and gratitude we acknowledge that we are gathered upon traditional territories, including those of the Wendat, Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and the Métis Nation. We also recognize the enduring presence of Indigenous peoples on this land.
