Brian, Richard, Nancy and Kevin. Aunt Mary was such a terrific person, so warm, positive and loving. Always a pleasure to be in her company. I'll always have fond memories of our times together at Otty Lake reunions water skiing, swimming and touring the lake, Christmas at Grandma and Grampa's and Elaine and Jerry's. It's nice that her grandchildren were able to have her into their adult years. We are sorry we are unable to attend the funeral. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

My condolences to Mary's family. She was my elementary teacher at Number 5 Logan township in Perth county in 1952/53. She was a wonderful teacher who took a great interest in her students. It may have been her first year as a teacher. She saw enough potential in me that I was able with her help to do grades 7&8 together. In my future education I never wanted to let Miss Stapleton's trust in me down. I expect that her many future students felt the same way.

Greg & Kathy O'Reilly posted a condolence

Sincere sympathy to Mary's family on the passing of your Mother/Grandmother. I just read about Mary's passing in the local Seaforth Huron Expositor. My (Greg's) Mother, Patricia (Kale) O'Reilly was a 1st cousin to Mary, (my Mother's Mother was Agnes Stapleton, a sister to your Mother's Father, Carl) & I spoke with and I believe received emailed information from Mary while working on the Stapleton family tree a few years ago. She was quite interested, and very proud of her family, and provided me with updated info on your Stapleton "twig". I welcome, via email, any updated info on your family. Greg & Kathy O'Reilly 11 Fairway Road, EGMONDVILLE, Ont. N0K 1G0
