It is with great sadness and heavy hearts, that the family of Mary Delena Shaw announce her peaceful passing surrounded by family and love on April 8,2018 at the age of 77 after her courageous battle with cancer.

Mary was predeceased by her parents Alex and Myrtle Murray, James Vincent Fader, brothers Clayton Fader and Frasier Murray, daughter Sue Sherrer, and son Wayne Shaw.
Mary was born July 17, 1940 in Hazel Hill, Nova Scotia where she grew up into a vibrant and beautiful young woman. Mary was married to Ron Glass in 1958 and they moved to Toronto where their family was started. Bill in 1960 and Sue in 1962. Mary was remarried to Meryl Shaw in 1969 and their family continued to grow (Meryl's daughters Pamela, Rosalie, Debbie & Melodie). Mary and Meryl had additional children when they had twins Wayne and Elaine In 1969. Unfortunately, Wayne passed early in his life and then along came Patricia (the baby of the family) in 1972.
Mary was a caring person who always had an open door for family and friends, where you could pop in for an hour or stay for a night. She was mom to many more than her own children!
Mary will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by her children, family & friends.
The family wishes to extend their sincere gratitude to the Alberta Health Services "Palliative Home Care Team" (Dr. Ronald Barton, Nurse Sat Pal and others). Their support, care and compassion during this difficult time was second to none and allowed mom to remain at home and be surrounded by family and love right to the end.
