Please join us in celebrating the life of our wonderful mother and grandmother. Born in eastern Poland to Ukrainian parents, Mary immigrated to Alberta as a young girl, where she began a life marked by independence, adventure and resilience.

Mary learned four languages to build a career as a flight attendant and was an intrepid traveler who embraced the world with curiosity and courage, starting with a 5 month solo trip in Mexico and Cuba when she was only 20! In the 1960s, she met the late Norm Miller on a flight to UK, they married and together they raised a family. She was a devoted mother to Craig (Kerri), D’Arcy (Allison) and Elaine (Michael); grandmother to 6 and great-grandmother to 1. She is remembered by her beloved sister Pat (George) of whom she was eternally fond.

Mary will be remembered as a proud Canadian, a passionate gardener, a fearless skier who rarely wore a hat, and in later life an enthusiastic bowler who rarely missed a game.

Visitation for family and friends at the Turner & Porter Funeral Home, Peel Chapel (2180 Hurontario St., Mississauga) on Saturday July 5 from 10 to 11a.m., Memorial service at 11am.
