MARY ELIZABETH PUGSLEY (nee McKELLAR) It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Mary, at Riverview Health Centre, on February 14, 2007 at the age of 87. Mary was predeceased by her mother and father, Kate and John McKellar; her husband Ralph, and by her brother John. She is survived by her two sisters, Frances Pudden of Barrie, ON, Norma Brownsey of Duncan, BC and their families; two stepdaughters, Mimi McCormick of Everett, WA, Roslyn Bjarnason of Surrey, BC and their families; son-in-law John Bjarnason of Vancouver, BC. She is also survived by the McKellar nephews and their families. Mary worked for the Manitoba Telephone System in the Commercial Department and after 37 years, she retired. She loved to travel until her health made it difficult for her. She enjoyed golfing and the social life of the Charleswood Golf Club where many lasting friendships were made. Mary overcame various health problems, but was unable to conquer her last challenge. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the Home Care staff whose care enabled Mary to remain home as long as possible and for the special care provided by the dedicated staff of Floor 2W of Riverview Health Centre over the last two years. Cremation has taken place. A Memorial Service will be held at a later date. If you so desire, contributions may be made to the Arthritic Society of Manitoba or the charity of your choice.
