MARY SCOBIE SMITH MACLEOD (COOK) (nee VICKERS) On the morning of April 1, 2014, God gently released our beloved mum from her physical body and took her home. We, her very blessed daughters, Jean Pelland and Roberta Mitchell, held her in our arms as we said goodbye. Anxious to welcome her home were the angels who had been waiting for her: her much-loved parents, Thomas (1964) and Mary (1984) Vickers, our wonderful dad, Cece Cook, (1974), Mum's precious granddaughter, Lisa Mitchell (2005), her second husband, Bill MacLeod (2008), and too recently, her son-in-law, Paul Pelland (March 17, 2014). Also mourning her passing are son-in-law, Les Mitchell, Bill's children, Sandy MacLeod (Maija) and Bonnie Lenton (Paul) and their families and Mum's beloved grandchildren: Jeremy and Brieanne Pelland, Scott Mitchell (Lauren) and great grandchild, Aaron Mitchell whom she had to wait for until she was 98 years old! Although our mum had been living and partly living for several years, we were still able to touch her sweet face, hold her warm hands, and enjoy her feisty nature. We were blessed to have our mum for 100 years, 1 month, and 13 days, and her long life spoiled us. We felt like she would be with us forever, and we will miss her with our whole hearts. We will celebrate Mum's life on a very significant day in April. On April 17, it will have been 40 years since we said goodbye to our dad. It seems fitting that we say our final goodbye to our mum on that day, as well. Cremation has taken place. A longer obituary with Celebration of Life details will appear in the Winnipeg Free Press on Saturday April 12, 2014.

Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

  • Mary Vickers was my teacher at Pine Falls Collegiate during the mid-1940's, who inspired our teen-aged class to write meaningful stories, as well as instill the love of learning another language (French). She has long been in my 84-year-old memory as a wonderful teacher who lifted our vision and goals in life! - Posted by: Frances Maclean (nee Bachynski) (I was a high school student at Pine Falls Collegiate where she taught.) on: Apr 24, 2014

  • Mrs. Cook was always a Lady. She always had a smile on her face and was very gracious. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. - Posted by: Linda Desrosiers(Berard) (Student) on: Apr 05, 2014
