Mary passed away peacefully at her home in Mississauga on the morning of March 2, 2022 at the age of 80, after a long battle with dementia.

Predeceased by her beloved husband Michael (2011), she was the much loved mother of Paul and his wife Sarah, Brian, and Peter and his wife Terri-Ann. Mary was a devoted grandmother to Justin, Matthew, Kyle, Jacob, Lucas and Travis. She was the daughter of Joseph and Pasqua Bon who emigrated from Italy. Mary was born in Port Credit January 21, 1942, sister of Enis Maritan (Peter), predeceased by John (Mary) and Peter (Roseanne).

Mary will be remembered by her friends and family as one who shared generously of her time and her patience in listening. She loved children and was a dedicated teacher of many years for the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board. Mary enjoyed travelling, new activities and meeting new people. Retirement allowed her to participate in the Red Hat Society with other teachers, and to volunteer at the Mississauga Living Arts Centre. She loved to be outdoors, so when she wasn’t in her garden or at the cottage in Tamworth, she was hiking the Bruce Trail. In time she completed the full Bruce Trail, a treasured accomplishment.

The family would like to thank all the support workers who helped in her care to allow her to stay at home.

A private service to be held at Turner & Porter “Peel” Chapel, Mississauga
