Obituary of Mary Elizabeth Lee

Lee, Mary Elizabeth (Thornton) After a wonderful, adventurous life, Mary Elizabeth Lee, age 73, went to be with her Lord and Saviour from the comfort of her home in Perth, Ontario on Sunday, July 8th, 2012 surrounded by the love of her family. Mary was predeceased by her beloved husband the Right Reverend Patrick Vaughan Lee, Retired Anglican Bishop Diocese of Rupert's Land, Manitoba in September, 2010 and her cherished daughters Barbara in 1969 and Sharon in December 2010 and her brother Michael Thornton. She was the loved mother of Sandra Lee of Pickle Lake, Ontario, Laura Anne Fink (Christopher Fink) of Calgary, Alberta and Suzanne Wray (Jeffrey Wray) of Winnipeg, Manitoba and mother-in-law of Rama Mkakatu; special and proud grandmother of six very accomplished grandchildren, Amanda Wray, Katie Wray, Bryan Wray, Daniel Fink, Andrew Fink and Baraka Mkakatu. Mary will be sadly missed by her many friends and all her family. She will also be sorely missed by her faithful canine companion, Kobi. The family would like to express their thanks to Drs. Bryson, Francis and Jeffries of the Kingston Cancer Centre and to Jan, her wonderful caring nurse during her many visits to Kingston. As well, thank you to the wonderful Bayshore Home Care nurses who made it possible for Mom to remain at home during her illness and her final days and to Dr. Tyrell and the staff at the Perth Hospital for their care and friendship over the past two years. Friends may pay their respects at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 15 Gore St. W. Perth on Thursday, July 12th, 2012 from 5:00 to 7:00 P.M. Funeral service will be held in St. James Anglican Church, Perth on Friday at 11:00 A.M. Interment will follow a funeral service to be held at a later date in Winnipeg, Manitoba where she will be laid to rest with Patrick. In remembrance, memorial donations to St. James Anglican Church, Perth, the Perth & District Food Bank or a charity of your choice would be appreciated.
