Mary will always be remembered as a very caring & fun loving person. She was a great friend to my parents (Margaret & Peter) & our entire family. As a child, I have fond memories of attending many parties, always enjoying the “Pipes”. Mary will forever live on in the hearts of the Doig family.

Dear Ken & Family
I was sorry to hear about Marys passing and have thought many times about how well she treated me over the years at your house and around the course, like teeing it up on 13.

As a childhood friend of CA, I witnessed the vitality/strength of Mary and how it emanated out to all those around her! Her joy of life was evident.
Condolences to Ken, her bairns and all those she left behind.
Wayne and MELITA Cronin
Mary was such a lovely lady who welcomed you wherever you met her, whether it was on the golf course,the street or in the grocery store. Thank you Mary for welcoming me into the golfing community, sharing all your golf stories, all the golf balls, the empty chair beside you or leading us in grace before our many meals together with the Thursday Night Ladies Group . I will certainly miss seeing you in the Club House.
May the blessings of Jesus be upon you and may you RIP.
Joan(Bannon) Weeks
I remember how much I used to like to babysit “the Doigs” as there was always so much laughter and jokes before Mary and Ken and “the Muirs” went out for the evening. Fond memories of New Year&&single&&s parties at Mom and Dad&&single&&s (Peter and Margaret Bannon)with the Doigs and Peter Malcolm playing the bagpipes.
Many good memories to find comfort in.
Jill Muir
Ken and Family,
So Sorry to hear of Mary&&single&&s passing. My heart goes out to you and your family. Mary was a wonderful, warm lady and was the hostess with the mostest! I remember my mom and dad attending many fun times at the Doig house; lots of parties and lots of laughter. Losing a Wife/Mom is heartache. I always say, a mother is like a life coach, we learn so much from them and our job is to continue to pass on some of their traditions and all their love.
In deepest sympathy, Jill and Mark and my Dad, Jack
Nancy & Norm Jones

We have many fond memories of Mary that we will cherish forever. Whether it was at the Doig residence on Goderich Street playing ice hockey or having a cup of tea and a biscuit. Mary always greeted us with a big hug and a joke. During her time at the Seaforth Nursing Home she still had her wit, kindness, and open arms for all her friends, visitors and employees. She will be deeply missed by all those who knew and loved her. Rest in Peace. xox
