MARY SCOBIE March 3, 1922 April 1, 2017 The family of Mary Scobie sadly announces her passing on Saturday, April 1. Mary will always be deeply loved, remembered and missed by her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She is survived by Wendy (Cas) Moroz of Regina, and Bonnie (David) Shakespeare of Winnipeg; grandchildren, Keenan Moroz (Kari Becker) Calgary, Alberta; Paul (Amy) Moroz Regina, Saskatchewan (McKinley/Luke); Mark (Anne) Oakville, Ontario (Jane/Kate); Justin (Sarah) Shakespeare (Colin/Griffin/Libby) Oakville, Ontario and Shannon Shakespeare (Laura Palella) Seattle, Washington. She is also survived by her brother Edwin of Portland, Oregon and sister Julie of Brandon, Manitoba. Mary was predeceased by her beloved son David, sister Lillian and brothers George, Bill and Ron. Mary was born in the village of Beeding, West Sussex, England and maintained a deeply felt attachment to her homeland. She loved England it was her heart's home! Mum came to Canada as a young war bride in 1946 settling in Winnipeg with her husband Dave and raising their three children, Wendy, Bonnie and Davie. In later years she returned 'home' many times and loved to reminisce. Mum spent many happy summers at the family cottage at Malachi, Ontario. Whether by train, boat or car, it was always worth the effort to enjoy lake time with her family and special lake friends. Mum's greatest joys were her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She proudly celebrated their academic accomplishments and was their #1 fan for every sporting event. Our family wishes to thank the staff at Vista Park Lodge for their compassion and care of Mum during the past two years. A Celebration of Mum's Life will be held at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Avenue on Saturday, April 22, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Canadian Cancer Society, 193 Sherbrook Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3C 2B7 For those who wish to sign the online Guest Book please visit our website.

  • I was fortunate to know Mary in a way that was very special and memorable. I remember the days of being around the house to visit Davie and the support of Mary and the family over the years. I was fortunate to be with them for many family occasions and also being able to take the train out to the lake for many fun visits. I will always cherish those memories and think of all the good times we had. Wendy and Bonnie you are thought of often and I am glad that I was able to be part of many years around you in Winnipeg as well as our various travels. Your Mom was a treasure for sure. - Posted by: David Robertson (Great Friend) on: Apr 09, 2017

  • I first met Mary 50+ years ago. She had a beautiful heart, was loving, tireless and always made you feel welcome!!! I remember the days when she worked in the retail clothing industry and what a delight she was to her clients! She had some hard trials in life but I never heard her complain; to me, she was always so positive. I will remember Mary, with her wonderful smile, her beautiful attitude and ... as a very loving mother and grandmother. Wendy, Bonnie and family, I send my sincerest sympathy for the loss of this beautiful lady. May she rest in Peace. xxxx - Posted by: Susan Calder-Heaps (friend) on: Apr 08, 2017
