SWITZER, Mary
Mary Switzer 1926 – 2020 With heavy hearts the family announces the death of Mary Switzer at the age of 94 years. Mary passed away on September 21, 2020 at Extendicare Tri-Town in Haileybury, Ontario. Mary was born January 5, 1926 in Coatbridge, Scotland, to the late Mary and Samuel Foster. Mary was predeceased by her husband of 70 years, Harvey, and her daughter Lynda. She is survived by her sons Donald (Aggie) of Ottawa, and Stuart of New Liskeard. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews in Scotland and Australia. She was known for her love of gardening and her knitting and crocheting skills. Mary was a long-time member of the Latchford United Church. She sat on many boards over the years and assisted at teas, bake sales and plant sales to raise money for the church. Her beautiful singing voice could be heard in church at each Sunday service. The family extends heartfelt thanks to the wonderful staff at Extendicare for their kindness and professional care. They were like family to her. Cremation has taken place. Internment for Mary and Harvey will take place in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Haileybury, Ontario at a later date.
