    • Obituary - Cuerrier, Mary - It is with great sadness and a broken heart, that we announce, our mother and loving Gram, Mary Cuerrier, has lost her courageous battle with cancer. She passed away on Tuesday, June 16th at Norfolk General Hospital, with her family by her side. Born at 514 St. Andrews Street in Port Dover on February 6, 1923, she was the daughter of the late Peter and Isabella Shand. She spent her entire life living in this lakeside town, and was well known and loved by many. She had the “gift of gab, and never passed anyone on the street (young or old), that she did not have a big smile and a friendly word. In her youth, she was employed at Waddles 5 & 10 cent Store on Main St (now Giant Tiger). She married Con Cuerrier on September 17, 1949 (September 2003). She worked for Thomas A. Ivey and Sons, in the grading room before and after having children, and then continued to work at Ivey's Inc. in the retail flower shop for many years, where she retired on February 6, 1988, on her 65th birthday. She is survived by her son, Rob (Vicki), and children Nicole and Kevin, her daughter Susie (David Wall) and children Geoff (Krystal Leavey) and Lindsay (Donnie Ruiz), her sisters Alice Krull and Doris Lindsay, and her brother George Shand, as well as her many very special nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her extended family (the Cuerriers) of Alexandria, ON. She was predeceased by her brothers Jim (Marion) and John (Marie), sister-in-law Mary, and nephews Bob Shand and Jimmy Krull. In keeping with Mary's wishes, cremation has taken place. A celebration of Mary's Life will be held at a later date. Arrangements have been entrusted to THOMPSON WATERS FUNERAL HOME in Port Dover (519-583-1530). If desired, donations can be made in memory of Mary to the Juravinski Cancer Centre, Camp Trillium or a charity of your choice.
