It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to Mary McGivern, age 92, who left us peacefully on July 3, 2022, in Canmore, Alberta. She was born January 16, 1930, in Middlesborough, UK to William and Eleanor Ferguson. She was married to Joseph Stanley McGivern who preceded her in death in 2009.

She was known around her community for the beautiful cards that she made and her dominance at the bridge table. She also loved to sew, knit, embroider, her hands were rarely still. Mary was a very funny and authentic lady that had a strong effect on the people that were lucky enough to meet her.
