My heartfelt condolences to Mary-Ann's family. I did not know Mary-Ann, but have come to know her dear friend Allie. Mary-Ann's daughters have their mother's beautiful smile. May you carry your mom's smile, laughter and kind heart with you always. ♥️

I taught at Dalhousie school with Mary-Ann at the beginning of our careers. I remember musical concerts at lunchtime, after hours volleyball games (sorry about the glasses Tim), and ski

trips, Her warmth and kindness extended to everyone. Her energy was inspiring. I was lucky to have known her.

Mt heartfelt condolences to Tim, Heather, Paula and the rest of her family.

How do we begin? We have been fortunate to be friends with Mary-Ann and Tim for over forty years. Together we have...skied, hiked, cycled, golfed, camped, explored, taught, cooked, read, danced, sung, shared our Ukrainian heritage (the girls) and told so many stories. We have...laughed, cried, celebrated, hugged, cheered and loved. Mary-Ann, you are everywhere in our home...in your favourite novels, gifts of pottery and in your homemade jams, scarves, toques and in your special Ukrainian Memory Bear. You were fun-loving, tenacious, kind and up for any kind of adventure. You were a fighter, a warrior and an inspiration. We are going to miss you, our dear friend and will hold our memories close in our hearts forever. Our hearts are breaking for Tim, Heather and Paula and their families. We love you all.

We feel fortunate to have been part of Mary-Ann and Tim's circle of friends through the past 40+ years. A positive and encouraging force, Mary-Ann was fiercely proud of Tim and her girls and we knew our son Adam always had a safe space to 'hang out' during his high school years! Our sincere condolences to Tim, Heather, Paula and family, we know she will be missed.

I was privilaged to ahve Maryann in my very first youth group as a newly ordained priest. She was always there and could be counted on to assi ng in the choir for our Sunday ngiht youth folk Masses.. I remember her and De De (Leftko) Halas singing duets during communion time' specifically one song from Godspell. I believe it ws called "I will be by your side". I was happy to wittness their marriage vows and am elated that their mariage lasted over the years. From the obiturayr, I see that you lvied yoru life to the full as God intends us to and that your thoughts were of others and their needs. I believe you are in heaven with all our loved ones who have gone on before us. I know you will continue to watch over us! I am so sorry that you had to suffer with cancer but it sounds like you were not just a warrior but a "thriver"! IWe lost touch over the years and I have a hard time thinking of the yung girl I knew as a 'Babba"!! But then I am celebrating my 50th Anniversary as a priest Aprill 5th-how time flies! Abba Father and Jesus bless you Tim, your girls, spouses and granchildren with healthy grieving. Let us remember that while we miss you here, you are experiecing a family reunion in heaven. Someday we will all be on the other side with you!

To Tim, Heather, Paula and all of Mary-Ann's family, I give my heart-felt compassion.

I feel so lucky that Mary-Ann was my inspirational and fun-loving friend and job-share partner for many years in Grade 6 classes at Dalhousie. She was both knowledgeable and enthusiastic, turning on many children to her favourite subjects-science and math. Mary-Ann's students won many medals at provincial science fairs, came in first in Manitoba in the National Math Competition, and first in Canada in the Design A Car contest. All her students were encouraged to participate as Mary-Ann lived the belief that each child mattered.

Mary-Ann showed me how to live life fully, how to try and beat cancer, and in the end, how to give up all that you love.

May there be red licorice in Heaven, my friend.

We have been fortunate to spend time with Mary-Ann and Tim in various activities through many years. We will miss Mary-Ann's positive energy and joy. Our condolences to the entire family.

The loss of a loved one is not easy. My thoughts and prayers are with you Tim and family.

I met Mary-Ann through our "Gyne support " group. Mary-Ann was an inspiration to me for her strength, determination, and courage. Mary-Ann was a wonderful lady and lived her life to the fullest. I will miss you Mary-Ann. My deepest sympathies to the family.

It was easy to play music with Mary-Ann. She played beautifully, was encouraging and her enthusiasm, contagious. Our tunes and practices were rich with her fiddle playing and compliments - she made me a better player. During practices, between sets, we often share stories about our families and life in general - Mary-Ann was funny but also very passionate about her family - there was lots of joy there. The wonderful thing about music is the ability to share with others. During our gigs and performances, Mary-Ann’s fiddle playing brought such life to our sound and encouraged our audiences to smile, tap their toes and sometimes dance - and, of course, she had that beautiful welcoming smile - we could not ask for anything better. Her favourite phrase was “I love that tune” - and she did. The world was a better place because of Mary-Ann - I, we miss her terribly - I feel like she is really just on a holiday with the family biking and hiking in the mountains and will be back soon.

What a truly amazing woman. Loved our conversations with her and loved her spirit. Our deepest condolences to you Tim, and the family for this huge loss.

When I taught at Dalhousie School, Mary-Ann and her teaching partner, Allie Turnock, taught a grade six class in the area across from me. Being an open area school, I had a clear view of them and their students each day. They were a strong team and for 4 years, I watched Mary-Ann who taught science and math in the afternoon arrive in a swirl of energy and enthusiasm, fresh with ideas for her students. She loved teaching and loved kids and that was apparent from day 1.. I learned much about teaching from Mary-Ann and I am grateful that I had a chance to teach across from her. My sincere condolences to Tim and to Mary-Ann’s family and friends.

Sooo sorry to hear of Mary-Ann's passing. My heartfelt sympathy Tim And family

Heartfelt condolences to Tim and family. ❤️

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Mary-Ann at Arthur A. Leach and she was a gem. We shared a Grade 7 group my second year, which meant lots of planning together, but it was more than that, she was a mentor to me. I loved watching her teach with soft kindness, and her passion was inspiring. You were one of the best ❤️

Mary-Ann started teaching in the gym at Dalhousie School the year before I started teaching French down the hall. We became close work friends, learning handbells together, playing in a little rockabilly staff band, knitting at lunch hour and so much more. Her laughter and kind heart was so important to me! We started our families at about the same time, changed schools, and drifted apart but she stays in my memory as one of the kindest and most generous and lovely people I ever spent my workdays with. My deepest sympathy goes to her family - who I know she loved fiercely.

"Cairde othe Cove" was how Mary-Ann sometimes referred to our practices at her place. Those are some of my most treasured memories-- playing music with Mary-Ann, snacking on Tim's freshly baked muffins and sharing laughter and good times. Tim, Heather and Paula, my deepest condolences for your loss. Mary-Ann was a remarkably brave and tenacious woman who was an inspiration to all of us.

Mary-Ann lived the spirit of the St.John's tiger! Although we were friends for only a few years at St.John's, she made her mark in showing her kindness, determination, and care in everything she did. My condolences to her family and the many people she touched during her life! It appears that Mary-Ann lived life to the fullest!

In my teenage years, I looked up to Mary-Ann, who was my friend Mike's older sister but also close to my older siblings Fran and Joe. Mary-Ann was incredibly talented, kind and humble. I loved her for that and she encouraged me to pursue physical education despite the fact i didn't feel I was good enough to succeed. Years later, I'd bump into her and Tim at some campground - and was happy for how happy they were together. Congratulations MA for a life so well-lived and loved; our family sends Tim, your girls and their families, Cathy, Mike, Peter and their families all our love at this time of such great sadness and loss. 💔🙏🏽☀️♥️

• rtain you will miss her butMary-Ann was my travel buddy for two weeks in India. She was kind, considerate and fun to be with. We enjoyed tours in the golden triangle and a nearly one week wedding of my nephew. We celebrated her birthday in India, 9 years ago today. The world has lost a caring compassionate woman. Condolences to all those who have been close to her, I'm certain you will miss her and hope you take solace from your many great memories.

We were very lucky to have part of Mary-Ann's wide circle of friends.

Mary-Ann's ever ready smile and laughter will be sorely missed. Our deepest condolences to Tim and the rest of the family.

So sorry to hear of Mary Ann's passing. Our condolences 🙏 and prayers gir Tim, Paula, Heather and families. We have many lovely memories of Soccer times together, especially the National Championship in St Johns. Rest in peace.

Mary-Ann was my mother, Allie Turnock's, loved and respected teaching partner at Dalhousie. I did not have a chance to get to know Mary-Ann as I left for university before my mom worked with her but heard so many stories of what a great friend and teacher she was. What an incredibly rich, full life Mary-Ann led and she touched so many people during her time on earth. My most heartfelt sympathy to Mary-Ann's family and friends.
