Loving Daughter, Wife, Mother, Grandma, Great-Grandma, Sister, Aunty, Friend, Mary (Aspin) Leis, born July 4, 1929 in Bruncild, Manitoba to Raymond and Helen Aspin, passed away on Monday, September 9, 2024 at the Biggar & District Health Centre.
Mary along with her siblings Jack and Elsie spent her early days living in downtown Winnipeg amongst a variety of savory and eccentric characters. The stories she loved to tell kept the entire family and many friends entertained.
Her love of dancing and rollerskating twirled her into the arms of her loving husband of 68 years, Leonard Leis, whom she preceded on July 6, 2017.
Mary and Len loved sharing traveling adventures together and living in a variety of locations such as Winnipeg, Yorkton, Melville, Sechelt, B.C., Calgary, and finally the great metropolis of Biggar, Saskatchewan.
Mary was always one to shine a little joy in any situation. Whether or not you heard it (most likely you did a few times already) she would sing you a little “Ditty”. When she wasn’t singing at home she was singing as loud as she could at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses. She was always eager to share her faith in Jehovah God and his wonderful promises ahead.
She leaves to cherish her memories her seven children: Dennis (Doreen) Leis, Debby (Dennis) Weber, Darrell Leis, Donna (Pierce) Achtymichuk, Danny (Kelly) Leis, Terry (Aimee) Leis, and Trent Leis, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, her brother Jack (Mary) Aspin, and numerous extended family members and friends. We eagerly look forward to when Mary will be back to singing and dancing with us again.
The Leis family would like to express their thanks and gratitude for your loving support during this time.
