Maganja MaryMAGANJA, Mary (Skender) - With grieving hearts, we share the loss of our dearly departed mom, grandma, baka (baba-baka) Mary, who passed away peacefully in her sleep to be with the Lord, on Thursday June 3, 2021, in the loving home of her daughter Annie and son-in-law Jim of Toronto, just short of her 94th year.

She was born in Croatia in 1927 and moved to Canada in 1962.

She worked hard to provide for her family in every way she could.

She loved her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren with all her heart as they gave her the greatest joy as reflected in her many talents, but especially with her knitting and crocheting of sweaters, socks and slippers, hats, and mittens without the use of a pattern

Mary was predeceased by her parents, sister Ana, and husband Matt.

She was a devoted mother of late Matt, (wife Cathy,) Annie (husband Jim,) and Joe (wife Joanne,) a grandmother to Candace, Michael (wife Courtney,) Shannon (husband Cory,) Laura, Geoffrey, Stephanie (Mike,) Emily, Brittany (Josh,) and Andrew.

Great grandmother to Leah, Hailey, and Cooper. Also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.

Loved by all, including the family pets, for her loving, warm, and caring nature, and generous gift of time. Mary loved life. You could see it in her eyes and in her smile, hear it in her voice and laughter and the way she made you feel when she saw you and hugged you.

Her greeting always made you feel very special and welcomed. Mary captured the heart of all who were blessed to know her.

In lieu of flowers, a memorial donation may be made to Heart and Stroke Foundation.
