Mary Hellen Compton (nee Colbourne) of Roddickton passed away October 7, 2024, age 74, at Grenfell Memorial Hospital surrounded by family.
Mary was a lifelong member of the John Wesley United Church of Roddickton. She was an avid reader and loved to knit, quilt and cross stitch. She took great pride in her work as Conche Post Mistress and always had a pot of soup and fresh bread baking when one of her boys came home. Her happiest times were spent visiting and laughing with her sisters and friends.
Mary will be dearly missed by her loving husband of 56 years Garfield Compton; sons Tom (Stephanie), Peter (Elizabeth), and Perry (Rebecca); sister Mabel (Norman); sisters-in-law Betty Colbourne and Patricia Colbourne; brothers in law Leighton Patey and Norman Tiller; grandchildren Joshua, Reagan, Sable and Anson; and many cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.
She was predeceased by her parents Thomas and Castalena Colbourne; brothers Ernest and Willie; sisters Edna and Bernice and parents in law Albert and Velma Compton.
Friends may come to celebrate Mary’s life October 26, 2024 at 2pm from the John Wesley United Church Roddickton.
