Mary OLDAKER Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 8, 2003.
OLDAKER _ Mary A. 1919 - 2003 Passed away peacefully on July 21, 2003 at home in Victoria surrounded by her family after a 7 year fight with Parkinson's Syndrome which she met with the utmost dignity, grace and style. She is survived by her loving husband of 49 years, Richard; son Donald and granddaughter Samantha; daughter Linda Babini and grandsons, Nathaniel, Sterling and Calvin and Duncan; sister-in-law Gladys Snell (Ohio); brother-in-law Alan Brownlee (Victoria); four nieces; two nephews; seven great-grandnieces and nephews. She has been predeceased by all the rest of her family. Mary was our Angel who God sent to earth for a short time, she was loved by all who knew her and touched everyone who she met. You are home now and you are at peace. We will miss you; we will never forget the love, thoughtfulness or her contagious smile. You will be in our hearts always as you sit on our shoulders forever, our Guardian Angel from Heaven. We love you and we thank you always. Service will be private with family only. In lieu of flowers a contribution in Mary's name to the Parkinson's Society would be appreciated instead. The family thanks all that helped in Mary's care over the years. God Bless you all.
