WERNER, Mary

On March 5, 2020, Mom, Grandma, Gma, lost her courageous fight with cancer. She is now at peace and in the arms of dad, who was waiting to take her hand on the other side.

Mary Theresa (Foesier) Werner was born June 1, 1935, in Drumheller, Alta. The second eldest of eight children. She lived a remarkably, unremarkable life and touched all who knew her. She lived for her family and was truly the matriarch. A force to be reckoned with, there was never any doubt where you stood with her. She started out as a farm girl, followed dad around the world finally settling in their forever home in Heffley Creek. She was very devout in her faith, and was active in the community church, Our Lady of Lourdes.

She is survived by her daughter Sheilah (Bert) van Goor, her grand-daughter Jenna (Adam) Munroe, great-grandson Lochlan Munroe, plus extended great-grandchildren,

Azzlyn and Lexy Munroe, Blaire and Rae van Goor, Rylan and Nolan van Goor, her brothers Gerald and Bernard Foesier, sister Marie Turnbull as well as many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband, Matt Werner, brothers Al, Patrick, Nellis and Jacque.

Our family is blessed to have the support of our friends and extended family. A very special thank you to the wonderfully caring nurses, volunteers and care-aids at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice House, as well as a special thank you to Dr. Kruger and Laurie Campbell who have been with us in this journey from the start.

A Catholic mass will be held to honour Mom at Our Lady of Lourdes, in Heffley Creek at 1 p.m. on March 21, 2020, 573 Tod Mountain Road, Heffley Creek, B.C.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations in memory of Theresa Werner to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice House.
