Mary is predeceased by John Joseph McGuire (Mick) (1969) and Charles Alfred Smith (Charlie) (2006). Loving mother of Patrick (wife Linda), Karen (husband Jacques Crepeau), and Mike (predeceased) (wife Jenny). Special step mother to Darlene Smith Lapierre and Daniel Smith (Diane). Proud grandmother to Doug (wife Laurie), Greg (wife Poonam), Colin (wife Lyndsay), Jason and Tess. Great grandmother to Alyssa. Mary was the daughter of Walter and Theresa Tongue (predeceased) and sister to Orma McNaughton (predeceased) and Aunt to many nieces and nephews. Born in North Bay on February 2, 1923, she went on to marry John (Mick) in 1948 and moved to Copper Cliff, Ontario where she raised her children. After Mick's passing she married Charlie in 1973 and they enjoyed 33 years together spending many summers at the cottage on Long Lake and winters in Florida. Mary enjoyed a variety of successful careers. She was a registered nurse for 18 years at various hospitals including Copper Cliff, North Bay St. Joseph's and all 4 Sudbury Sites. She then went on to become a social worker with the Sudbury Children's Aid Society for 4 years.

In her younger years, Mary was an avid down hill skier, both instructing and competing at the national level. At Mary's request there will be no public visitation or service. A private family ceremony will be held to honour her life. We are so grateful to the staff at Extendicare Falconbridge for everything they did to make our Mother's last YEARS comfortable and enjoyable.
