Obituary for Mary Lescisin
Lescisin, Mary
Peacefully but unexpectedly passed away on Saturday April 13th, 2024, in her 97th year, after being surrounded by her family at Lakeridge Health
Oshawa.
Predeceased by her beloved husband of 57 years Steve in 2007.
Dear mother of Nancy Addington (Richard), Janet Sirko (Fabio Dal Grande)
and Ron (Ann). Lovingly remembered by her grandchildren Laura (Dave),
David, Ashley, Brock, Ryan, Brooklyn. Great grandchildren Chloe & Audrey.
Mary was a proud and very accomplished gardener. She was an annual
winner of awards from The City of Oshawa receiving the “Premier Garden
of the Week” recognizing her multiple award winning gardens and to thank
her for her contribution to the beautification of the City. When it was
time to move into an apartment Mary made the transition easily, enjoying
her new found friends, the spectacular view and scenery throughout the
seasons. Mary treasured her family, her home, her garden and her
friends. Mary remained very active her entire life. She was always
cheery and always in an uplifted mood, brightening the day of everyone
she saw, especially her precious friends. She was pleased she could walk
at a pretty good pace down the hall of her residence, using her walker.
She enjoyed the greetings of "hello Mary" of her fellow residents. Mary
enjoyed the company of her friends at dinner, regarding them fondly and
described them as "her family". Mary's children learned it was not that
unusual for Mary and her friends to break out in laughter and song
occasionally as they exchanged stories of their lives.
When visiting Mary, she would let you know, it was time for you to leave
by pleasantly saying, with a smile, "thank you for coming". That was
your cue to say goodbye.
Special thanks to her personal support workers from Bayshore and Bloom
for making her time there so special. Sincere appreciation to Lakeridge
Health Oshawa Emergency and Palliative Teams for their
kindness,compassion and care.
Funeral Services will be held in the Chapel of Armstrong Funeral Home,
124 King Street East on Saturday April 20, 2024 at 11 am, followed by
entombment at Resurrection Cemetery Mausoleum. Visitation will be held
one hour prior to the service from 10am to 11am.
Donations in memory of Mary can be made to the Multiple Sclerosis
Society of Canada or the charity of your choice.
