Passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, with their love, at Copernicus Lodge, Toronto. Cherished daughter to Anna and John Grys. Dear sister to Jenny (1985) and Zygmunt Oczko and Ben and Gladys (2015) Grys. Beloved wife and life partner to Felix (1987) Special Ciocia and "Coco Mary" to Michael (2010) Susan, Bonnie, Barbara (Scott), Brian (Karen), Laura, Timm, Jennifer, Edward, Sarah, Ben and Jessica and their families. A special friend to Emily Krula, the Auxiliary members at Copernicus Lodge and her card playing friends and neighbours on the 6th floor. Mary will be remembered for her strong work ethic, her zest for life, her fun loving spirit and perhaps most notably, her zippy little walk. She lived her life with integrity, kindness, intelligence and quiet determination. Mary was involved as a young Girl Guide at St. Stan's. She entered the workforce as a teenager at the York Knitting Mill followed by many years at Sears Canada. She was also a much valued Copernicus Auxiliary member for over thirty years. Mary eagerly fulfilled every work and volunteer role requested of her. Mary never failed to express and share her love of family, friends, her proud and humble beginnings, holiday gatherings, gardening, birds and squirrels, trees in bloom, polka and big bands, fish 'n chips, naleśniki, a good cup of tea or a drop of whiskey, her opinions on politics and those Toronto Maple Leafs. Mary was one of a kind and she has left the world a better place for her having been here. While donations to Copernicus Lodge in memory of Mary would be gratefully appreciated by the family, Mary would love just as much that you "save your money" and instead extend a kind gesture to someone who needs one. A special thank you to Dr. Robert Stachula and the incredible caring staff in Supportive Services at Copernicus, and at the 5th Floor South. Stolat!
