It is with deep sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our dear mother MARY GRAHAM, beloved wife of the late William "Laurie" Graham, at St. Michael's Health Care Center on Monday June 12, 2023 at the age of 98 years.
She is lovingly remembered by her children, Donna, Jayne (Keith) Mauthe, cherished daughter and caregiver Susan and much-loved son Greg (Diana) of Seattle, Washington, five grandchildren, Mary Ann Graham, Amanda and Lauren Mauthe, and Travis and Spencer Graham, one sister-in-law, Myrna Stokes of High River as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
Mary was predeceased by her parents Desmond and Ethel Stokes, sisters Terry Zolkivski and Helen Murphy, brother Robert Stokes and daughter-in-law Shelle Graham.
Mary was born in Stettler, AB on March 20,1925. She spent most of her younger years in Edmonton before moving to Lethbridge in 1963. Here, Mary began her career with the City of Lethbridge, where she became Supervisor of Utilities before retiring in 1983.
Mary loved curling, swimming, knitting, quilting, and made incredible shortbread cookies. Affectionately known as Mother Mary, she had no problem sharing her great wit with anyone she encountered. We will love and cherish her forever.
A private Funeral Mass will be celebrated at a later date.
