Mary Helen Christie was born March 21, 1924, in Mount Forest, Ontario. She died shortly after her 101st birthday at Vision Nursing Home, on March 29th, 2025.
Beloved wife of the late William Christie (2019). Loving mother of John (Sandi) of Sarnia and Connie (Jill) of Toronto. Cherished grandmother of Cathy and Jeff and great grandmother of 5 great-grandchildren and a new great-great-grandchild. Predeceased by her parents Angus and Helen Smith and her two brothers Ken and Don. Mary had a passion for helping those in need and was always willing to be a strong advocate for others. She was a lifelong member of the IODE Malcolm Cameron Chapter and was very proud to receive her 70 year service award. Mary and Bill loved to travel especially if there was a historical site and an educational component. They never lost their enthusiasm to see new places and learn new things. Many thanks to the staff at Vision Nursing Home for their kindness and gentle care for mom over many years. Cremation has taken place. A private interment will be held on what would have been Mary and Bill’s 80th wedding anniversary. Sympathy may be expressed through donations to The Inn of the Good Shepherd, a charity that Mary cherished and always supported (cheques only at the funeral home please).
