Mom was born on May 14, 1929 in Handel, Saskatchewan. Later, the family moved to a farm at Andrew, Alberta.
School and farm work kept mom busy. In 1952 she married the love of her life, Emil Lehnert. They raised six children on their farm near Landis. Mom’s life was blessed with Faith and Love. She loved her family, friends, garden, flowers, animals, birds, fishing, phone calls, card playing, bingo, casino and visits from her grandchildren. Mom was a great cook – no one left her home hungry.
Dad passed away in 2003. Mom continued to live on the farm until she become ill last summer. She passed away suddenly in the Biggar Long Term Care Home on April 16, 2024.
Mary is lovingly remembered by her six children and their families, Vernon and children Jennifer, Christina, Aimee and Heather; Judy (Dan) and children Ryan, Kim and Stacie; Erwin (Jill) and children Jonathan and Matthew; Steve; Rick; Jackie (John) and Jaydon; numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren; brother Martin (Gayle) and daughter Marla.
