It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Mary Pazdzierski, nee Maksymyk on March 21 at Teulon Hunter Memorial Hospital. Mary was predeceased by her husband, Joseph, brother Michael Maksymyk, sisters Nettie Biluk and Annie Dola, her sister in law Katie Samborski, and brothers in law, Walter, Marion, and Stanley Pazdzierski. She leaves to mourn her passing her son Gerald (Anna) and daughter Sandra (Niel Bolen), grandchildren Mona (Bruce Simcoe) and Daryl, grandchildren Joshua (Selena), Emily, Sarah, Gavin and great granddaughter Amelia. Mary and Joe were known for their amazing garden. Mom’s diary kept track of what she planted based on the moon’s cycle and how it all grew. There was not a weed to be found and Mom and Dad were so proud of their straight rows. The potatoes went into perogies, enjoyed by many of the locals and all of her family. There were always jars of canning and pickles and the grandchildren got to go in the “basement” to pick out what they wanted and of course bags of food to go home with. Along with her gardening, she was the Food Services Supervisor for many years at the Teulon Hospital, “back in the day” when meals were cooked from scratch. She took great pride in her work and was well respected for it. Special thanks to the nurses and Dr. Loudon at the Teulon Hospital for making her last days as comfortable as possible. She was a wonderful Great-great Baba, Great Baba, Baba, Mom, Wife, Sister and friend. We will miss her enormously. Funeral service will be Monday, March 28 at 11:00 am at MacKenzie Funeral Chapel in Teulon with internment to follow at Pleasant Home Cemetery. In lieu of flowers donations in Mary’s memory can be made to Teulon Hunter Memorial Hospital Foundation.
