Marysia(Mary) LOCKE

LOCKE, Marysia (Mary) On August 20, 2017 at 2:30 p.m., surrounded by loved ones, God reached down and very peacefully took an angel from us. Marysia, born July 12, 1950 was taken from us at the early age of 67. Marysia courageously defeated skin cancer in the spring of 2017 prior to being diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer which too quickly took her life. Her strength and resiliency to fight to the end was not a surprise to anyone who knew her. Joining her husband Casey in heaven, she will now look down upon those who love and miss her including; her children, Anna, Christopher (Stephanie), Max (Wendy), Caroline, Michele, Charlton and Melanie; her grandchildren, Holly, Brayden, Mason, Alexandra, Briana, Adrian, Sarah, Michael, Madison, Melissa, Jacqueline, Daniel, Andrew and Maggie; her siblings, Richard (Ewa) and Ewa, along with their children and their families, Andrew, Peter, Pawel and Agnieszka and finally her beloved dog, Emmy. Marysia never backed away from a tough situation. She accepted the challenges life presented her with and always forged ahead with kindness, generosity, strength and a wonderful smile. With heavy hearts and mixed feelings of happiness we were glad to be by her side and help her pass on to the next phase of her journey. Family and friends will be received on Thursday, August 24th from 7-9 p.m. at OAKVIEW FUNERAL HOME, 56 Lakeshore Road West, Oakville, ON. Memorial Mass will be celebrated on Friday, August 25, 2017 at 10 a.m. at St. Stanislaus Roman Catholic Church, 8 Saint Ann Street, Hamilton. As expressions of sympathy, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated by the family. Online condolences may be made at oakviewfuneral.ca
