Mary has been a beloved member of our family for many, many years. She first came into my life back in my high school days, when she worked in the Dental Surgery, dressed in her little white mini uniform, she looked Smokin’ Hot! In later years, after marrying Rinus, I will always remember Mary arriving at family gatherings in the Kombi, 3 kids on board, Big Hair and full of life and fun! Mary has always been a great friend to me and from the beginning we always had a Special Connection. Our love and thoughts are with you all on this sad occasion but the memories of Mary bring us all much joy. Maggie, Keith and Family xxx

Mares, where do we start! You were the smiling face that greeted me on my first day, the first to come with me for a drive to see our kids, the first to check on me after a hard visit and definitely the first to lend me a shoulder to cry on. Working with you and subsequently becoming your friend is one of life’s privileges. I’m so thankful that we got to spend so much time together when I was learning our trade, because of you im a better human!! Lots of love to Mary’s family, whom she spoke of often with such pride!!

My darling friend Mary, You’re so special to so many, well respected by your peers and colleagues. A person generous of her time and love, many people came under your wing. A great mate , we shared good times on holiday and at home. You are sadly missed now and always. From your broken hearted pals at your other home in Tweed Heads, Rhonda, Rick and Kelsey

My darling friend Mary. You are my best friend and I will always miss your laughter, wicked sense of humour, unconditional love & acceptance of me, mulling over the night & then describing in great detail your amazing ideas/solutions to things I needed help with, encouragement, generosity, adventurous spirit & drinking too many bottles of bubbles talking our heads off late into the night on my deck at Anglesea 🥰. You will always be with me especially when I’m at our favorite place, the beach. You are now finally pain free & at peace. I wish you much love & peace xxx
