WICENTOWICH, Mary Albina
(nee Budinski)
May 20, 1930 – May 8, 2018
On May 8, 2018, our mother and baba, Mary Wicentowich, of Mundare, Alberta passed away twelve days before her 88th birthday.
She will always be loved and remembered by her husband of 62 years, Mike Wicentowich; her daughters Margaret (Glen) Thompson and Sandra (Darcy) Beaudette; her grandchildren Liam Beaudette, Curtis Thompson, Hannah Beaudette, Eric Thompson and Victoria Thompson; brother Peter (Virginia) Budinski; sister-in-law Bernice Arlott; along with nieces, nephews and friends. She was predeceased by her parents Joseph and Frances Budinski.
Mary lived a farming life and loved it. Side by side with her husband, she worked the fields, raised turkeys, chickens and hogs and always planted a big garden. Mary loved good company and often spoke fondly of going to dances with her husband, card parties at Moscow Hall and visits with friends and relatives. Her biggest joy was her family. She took pride in all their accomplishments and delighted spending time with her grandchildren. They were a big part of her life as she was to theirs. Mary will be missed for her vibrant personality, her sense of humour, her generosity, her chicken soup and her love.
