Mary McGregor Matson, age 91 years, resident of Thunder Bay, passed away peacefully on June 1, 2018. Born on November 5, in 1926, she was raised and educated in Scotland. In 1946, she came to Canada as a war bride, settling in Port Arthur. She was employed as a house cleaner, fish net mender, and for the majority of her working life, at Sears behind the candy counter and in the sports department. She retired at age 72. Mary enjoyed shopping, baking, visiting friends, meeting with her card group and buying her groceries at Metro each Wednesday. Mary is survived by: daughter, Marilyn; son David (Sharon); grandchildren Jamie Caul, Dave Matson (Catherine); great-grandchildren, Clive, Nigel, and Warwick. Also, meaningful to Mary was Rick and Melissa Syrja, niece, Sandra and family, and friend Lois Klatt. She was predeceased by husband Oliver, grandson Michael, as well as parents and other family and friends. A special thank you to all staff at P.R. Cook for making Mary's last few years time living enjoyable. To staff on 2 North at St. Joseph's Care Group, your kindness and compassion was deeply appreciated. Mary requested no service and interment will be held at a future date for family. If friends so desire, in lieu of flowers, donations to Easter Seals, Scleroderma, Heart & Stroke or charity of choice would be greatly appreciated by family.
