MARY LOU
McCRODAN-POVEY
1952 ~ 2019
It is with hurting and heavy hearts that we share the passing of Mary Lou on Friday, December 13th, 2019, at the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital. She was just 67. To know Mary Lou was to know that you’d been touched by an exceptional individual. Put simply, she made a difference. Enriching lives around her with her grace, humour and a truly loving nature. She was endearing with her “Lou-isms”, a quick wit and quirky off-the-wall facial expressions. She was respected as a fiercely caring advocate of what is right and was loved for her genuine depth of compassion for others. That Last Night
That last night we showered
her with love because
that’s what she’d done for
us our whole lives.
That last night we told her how
proud we were to be her
family and what an inspiration
she’d been to us.
That last night she shed tears listening
to messages from her grandkids.
That last night we wiped our eyes and advocated for the best care for her.
That last night we sat in silence with her, holding her, comforting her. Loving her. Mary Lou was Mom to Seana Almer (McCrodan) and Gavin McCrodan; Stepmom to Paul, Nicola, Jeremy and Phaedra; Gramma to Accalia, Isabela, Logan, Maddie, Kieran, Lucy, Justine, Kyle, Chantel, Dylan, Ethan and Bailey; and wife and best friend to Martin. She lived with her heart fully-engaged and she passed surrounded by love.
A Celebration of Mary Lou’s life will be held at SAAMIS MEMORIAL FUNERAL CHAPEL, 1 Dunmore Road SE on Friday, December 20th, 2019 at 2.00 p.m. and on Saturday, January 11th, 2020 in Burlington Ontario – venue & time TBA.
