Born in Edmonton, Mary & her 2 siblings were raised by their father, Fred Trottier, on a homestead at Dowling Lake - their mother, Jennie Louta, from Finland died when they were youngsters.

Hello Marilyn, I was sad to see that your mom passed away. Mom and I send our condolences. Mary and mom shared for a brief time, the same room. Mom often asked about Mary,wondering how she was. They never talked much, but they certainly knew one another was there. Mom is pretty good has had several more falls, but as glad as i am that she is close to me now, we missed the Cedars. I am sure they will miss Mary there,too. Hope you are well and am sure you have many great memories you shared with your mother! glenda owen for Irene Johnson!
