So very sorry for you loss.
Maria was always FULL of life, always ready with a heartfelt laugh and so kind to everyone. That is how I will remember her!
I used to look forward to seeing her when she worked in Walmart. She would always have time for a chat and my day would be brightened by those few minutes spent with her.
Her family was THE most important thing in her life, she was so proud of you all !

Heartbroken for you all as your loss is so great, how blessed were you all to have that ray of sunshine in your lives. I hadn't seen Maria for 39 years till this past spring and she was exactly the same, so full of Joy and Fun. Dad says she was so comical and wishes he really was her "Rich Uncle" from Ontario.
Our deepest condolences to Lennie, Stephen and Family

Dear Aunt Lennie, Steve and family
We were so saddened to hear of Maria’s passing. My fondest memories of my cousin Maria is when we were back at Nanny Dills and we would all gather when family arrived from Ontario. It was such a great time to see family. I missed so many years with Maria when my family lived out west. However I was fortunate to reconnect with Maria, her family, and Aunt Lennie when we returned to Nova Scotia. I would see them at the bank. You would not see one without the other. When I used to go shopping at Walmart or Super Store, the best part of the trip was connecting with Maria. There was always hugs, laughter, and stories. Maria was so much like Uncle Charles, his sense of humour and heart of gold. Maria had Aunt Lennies sharp whit and always joking around. She was one of a kind. I don’t think Maria ever had a bad word to say about anyone. When I think of Maria, its pure joy and love for her family and friends.
We will miss running into her and getting the best hugs and laughs. She was truly an earth Angel and now she is with the Heavenly Angels. How blessed they are to have her and how sad we are that she is gone.
She is with so many of our love ones. They will take good care of her.
Rest In Peace our sweet Maria , until we see you again. The world is not the same without you. Maria you will forever live through your family, children and grandchildren.
Sending all our love and prayers.
Jessie ,Willie Raaymakers and The MacDonald families

My heart is so saddened on the loss of your beautiful wife, mom and grandmother.
Everytime I saw your mom she had to tell me a story about one of her beautiful children and how they were doing. Then when I saw her with the grandbabies her face was beyond beaming with proudness.
I am so sorry for all of your loss. Such a loss to everyone.
Take care and be proud of knowing how much your mom was loved by everyone.

We first met Maria as a child when we used to buy fresh eggs from her parents. She was full of joy then as she was every other time we saw her over the many years. We missed seeing her at Walmart recently but were happy to know she had left to spend more time at home and with her family. “Living the dream” as she would say, with that beautiful smile so characteristic of her. We were shocked and so very sorry to learn this news and send our deepest sympathy to all of her family and loved ones.

Maria's magnetic personality drew me to her immediately. So much fun rolled into one person, my years at Walmart were filled with so many laughs . And the few times we actually worked together in produce you could be sure we'd be up to no good , in a good sort of way. She had the biggest heart and always had a kind word or a big bear hug if you should ever need it. She will be dearly missed and remembered by many , much love and big hugs to you all . ❤️❤️

John and I are so sorry to hear of Maria,s passing. She was such a special person. When we first moved to Grand Pre she would come to our store and we chatted as if we knew each other all our lives. The children were Pre schoolers and I so enjoyed her telling me some of the fun things they did. We shared sewing patterns and would have a great time chatting about what we were sewing. My heart goes out to the family. She will be greatly missed.

We were so very fortunate to get to know Maria through the courtship and marriage of our children , Michaela and Mason . It was an instant friendship as this obituary states . Maria’s jolly , down to earth and caring disposition impacted everyone around her whether she knew you or not . It was heartwarming to watch her in action , greeting complete strangers with a “hello , how are you . Nice day isn’t it” with this beautiful smile . She genuinely cared about people . We are saddened for what we will miss but so fortunate for what we had .
We send our deepest condolences to The Kennie Family .

Stephen, Tanya, Michael, and Michaela,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with your mom for many years at Sobey's, and to say we had great time was an understatement. She was always the life of the party, and if you ever wanted to have your spirits lifted she was the person to go to. I loved to run into her and share a big belly laugh and catch up on all the news that was news!!!
Hold her spirit close, as this will get you through the hardest of times. She was so proud of each of you, and so loved those grandbabies.
I am so lucky to have known her xoxo
Take care,
Sue
