Eugenie Mary Thwaites (née Short) born May 25, 1931 passed away on March 30, 2024 at age 92. She leaves behind her beloved son Ken (Linda) and daughter Nancy (Gordon), and son-in-law Mel (Liz). Predeceased by her loving husband Ken in 2001, and daughter Anne in 1999. She also leaves behind her much adored grandchildren Stephen (Lindsay), Bryan (Laura), Jill (David), Cathy (Husain), and Ian (Sophia), and great grandchildren Remy and Annabelle.
Born in West Vancouver as an only child, Mary had a deep and abiding love for that place and time, and a gregarious nature, nurturing many lifelong friendships in the Lower Mainland. She was often found swimming off the pier at Dunderave or going to "the show" at Vancouver's playhouses. She always had a sunny outlook on life and loved to garden and play bridge in her later years. She will be dearly missed by her family.
