It is with deep sadness and great love that we mourn the passing of our beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother ,great grandmother, and friend Mary Elizabeth Oliver. She passed away peacefully on the morning of November 29, 2023 at Centennary Hospital in Scarborough.
She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 62 years, Robert Keith Oliver, her sons, David(Rita) and Daniel Oliver(Kim), her brother Ed(Pat) and her 11 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. Mary was predeceased by her daughter, Donna Josephine Oliver(Egan). Mary was the 2nd youngest of 9 children, the daughter of Aldo and Verna Parlette. Mary and Keith bought their first house in Scarborough and resided there for the next 62 years as they raised their family and made a lifetime of memories. Mary had a love for reading, the theatre, the ballet, the symphony, the Blue Jays, and travelling the world. She was curious and inquisitive by nature and she balanced this with her infectious laugh and sense of humour.
A celebration of life has been planned for May 4, 2023 at 2pm at Pine Hills funeral Centre at 625 Birchmount Road, Scarborough. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Sharelife, Doctors Without Borders or Habitat for Humanity.
“Good night sweet princess, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest”
