Mary was a kind, generous, and welcoming soul who touched the lives of so many. She instilled these beautiful values in her children, a true reflection of her spirit. Her legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
Sending much love,
Marguerite.

To John and family and the Lonie family, I'm sorry to learn of Mary's death. May she rest in peace. Mary and I are cousins on my mother's side -- Doris Brook (Tod) and Mary's mother, Kathy, are sisters). Thinking of you all.

So sorry to read of Mary's death. Mary and I were cousins (her mother Kathy and my mother Doris were sisters). Mary was very kind to me when I visited Methven several years ago.

Thoughts and prayers are with all the McGettigan
family in the passing of their lovely Mary.
I only met with Mary and family briefly over the
years when they visited Margaret in Blenheim.
Your precious memories, keep them close I know
they will make you smile.

Rest in peace Johanne Brown Blenheim
