LEGROS, Mary

Passed away peacefully at Peterborough Extendicare on Tuesday, January 21, 2020 in her 95th year. Beloved wife of the late John Legros (d) April 7, 1994. Loving mother of Camille (Ginny), D'Arcy (Carol) and Leonard. Daughter of John Edwards (d) and Jean Edwards (Duthie )(d). Beloved sister of William(d), Alfred(d) and Christian(d) Edwards. Dearly loved Grandmother, Great Grandmother and Great Great Grandmother.

Mary came to Canada, a war bride from Aberdeen, Scotland, aboard the S.S. Queen Mary in July of 1946 landing in Halifax Canada at Pier 51. Mary was a mere 20 years old and filled with excitement to be leaving behind a world of war and unrest to join her husband in a country of peace and prosperity. Mary and John lived together in Kirkland Lake, Ontario where they raised their three boys. John served in the Canadian Armed Forces which found Mary and the three boys moving from place to place for many years finally settling down in Ottawa, Ontario. John died in 1994 and Mary chose to move to Peterborough, Ontario to be close to her son D'Arcy.
