Mary Christine Sheldon (née Formby)

We mourn the passing of our mother Mary who lost her courageous battle to cancer on November 19, 2013.

She was born in Powell River on May 7, 1934 and was predeceased by her loving husband Tom in 2004. Mom is survived by her brother Peter (Bonnie), seven children Ken, Tom (Sylvia), Brenda (Glenn), Rick (Marjorie), Frank (Janice), Robyn and Ryan (Elizabeth), 12 grandchildren, eight greatgrandchildren and numerous nephews and nieces.

Mom worked as a guard for the RCMP for many years and then as a clerk at the provincial court house. She so looked forward to her weekly stroke club meeting and her crib club, so many thanks to all the crib ladies who went to her house so she could play. Our undying gratitude to Joyce and Ray Osmond for their love and friendship of both mom and dad. Special thanks to Dr. Barrie McDonald and all the fourth floor nurses and staff for your care and compassion.

A celebration of life for mom will be held on Thursday, December 5 at 1 pm at Carlson Community Club. Flowers gratefully declined, donations can be made to the charity of your choice.

Rest now, mom. We love you!
