Mary Watson Obituary
Mary Helen Patricia Watson (Pat) (née Jayne-O'Brien) was born May 16, 1941 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She was raised in Saint Joseph's orphanage and later residing at the home of the Good Shepherd's in Halifax, Nova Scotia. At the age of 16 she met her future husband William James Watson (deceased September 19, 2019). They married November 15, 1957 and raised five children.
Predeceased by son Joseph (2008) and daughter Kimberly (2007). Survived by son Bill Jr. and spouse Mona, daughters Candace, Terri Lee and spouse Nick, grandchildren Leahann, Tyler, Kelsey, Conor, Adamo, Sophia and great-grandchild Kimberlyn.
Our mother was passionate about God, family, friends and community. Her love encompassed her grandchildren, music (Elvis), guitar, piano, home renovations, animals and softball. She rigorously advocated for the most vulnerable, exposing atrocities in the residential institutions she resided in. She fought for the rights of the seniors often speaking to the Prime Minister's office MP's and MLA's. Our mother was a creative soul, had a beautiful singing voice and could jive like a jitterbug. She was a ball of energy, fire, fun and love. She was the heart, soul and strength of our family.
Mom (Pat) passed away peacefully with her family by her side at Kamloops Seniors Village on February 11, 2022. Gratitude to our brother Bill and his wife Mona for going above and beyond in caring for Mom in her last few years. Our family wishes to thank all the wonderful staff who cared for Mom.
Mom, you will be dearly missed. Soar with the angels.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Mom's name to the BC Alzheimer's Society. Thank you.
