MCDADE, Mary Geraldine (Worobec)
It is with great sadness that the family announces the death of their mother and wife, Mary McDade. Surrounded by her family, she passed away peacefully on Saturday, February 4, 2012 at Watrous Union Hospital.

Mary is survived by her husband Robert, and their children: Terry (Danielle), Bonnie (Tracy), David (Cindy), Patrick (Beverly), and Thomas (Gayle) as well as her grandchildren and one precious greatgrandchild: Shannon, Solon, and Jeremiah; Randi-Lee, Patrick, and Kenten; Melanie, Kaitlyn, Kiara, and Amy; and Isla Rose. She is also survived by brothers Austin and Mervin (Olga) and sisters Helen, Nellie, Alexandra, and Margaret. Mary and Robert were blessed with a wonderful marriage and had recently celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary with family and close friends. Mary was devoted to her family and her positive influence and strong work ethic is evident in the happiness of her children, the success of the family farm, and in the accomplishments of her grandchildren.

She attended Normal School in Regina and Teacher's College in Saskatoon. Mary began her teaching career in the Preeceville area.
