She married Donal Leach, of Olds, in December 1952. During her married life, she worked alongside her husband on the Leach family farm, east of Olds. They welcomed a daughter, Evelyn, and son Howard.
Mary was predeceased by her husband Donal Leach; brothers, David, Robert, and Wilson Redgwell; sister in law Joyce Redgwell; and daughter in law Mary E. Leach. She leaves to mourn her passing, Evelyn (Doug) Jensen, Lindsay (Brian) Giesbrecht, and Katie (Bryan) Cowie; Howard Leach, and son Jason, and daughter Sarah (Erik) Neumeyer; and sisters in law Cheryl Redgwell and Shirley Redgwell. She will be missed by her five great grandsons, Ryle, Blaise, Owen, Blake, and Thomas.
To the nurses, doctors, and staff who became her friends, thank you for seeing her as her family did, and caring for her as a colleague, with the uttermost dignity and respect.
A donation to STARS or the Canadian Cancer Society, two of the charities Mary supported every year, would be deeply appreciated.
