It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mary Lucas (nee Lazenka), on March 5, 2022, at the age of 74. Predeceased by her parents Boris and Tsila and sisters Sophie and Sophie. Loving wife of 50 years to George, and cherished mother to Bill (Amy), Tom (Christine), and beloved Baba to Julia, George, Stephen, Sarah and Samantha. Dear sister of Evangelia, Helen, Steve, Angelo, and Jim. Mary was born in selo Nevolani, Lerinsko. She immigrated to Canada in the fall of 1954 at the age of 7. She sacrificed from an early age to support her family, and began working full time at the age of 17. After working for 50 years as a secretary she retired from Charles Howitt Public School. Mary was devoted to her family. Her pride and joy were her grandchildren and she loved to spend time with them. She enjoyed baking with them, and knitting for them. Sunday family gatherings were special to her. Her love, support, and kindness will be engraved forever in their hearts and memories. Mary will always be remembered for her generosity towards her family, friends, and neighbours. She enjoyed sending her Monday morning humorous emails to her friends, and looked forward to the Tuesday get togethers with them. Mary will be sorely missed by her sister-in-law Helen and her family, as well as her many nieces and nephews, cousins and friends.
