Mary Anne (Ford) Brooks passed away on Monday March 14, 2011 just three days before her 67th birthday. Mary Ann was the eldest of three daughters born to their late parents Tom and Marion (Attridge) Ford. As a child her family lived above the Ford Funeral Home which was located on Talbot Street. Later she would follow her father’s footsteps and work for a number of years at Southwestern Regional Centre where she became an Assistant Supervisor. During that time she raised her daughters Lisa & Bernie Howard of Blenheim and Michele and Brad Thompson of Saskatoon. In 1988 Mary Anne left Southwestern Centre and joined the staff at McIntyre I.D.A. In her spare time she enjoyed her grandchildren Zach, Evan and Darien Howard of Blenheim and Brooke, Torri, Brady and Katie Thompson of Saskatoon, she enjoyed that special bond that only sisters can share with Peggy & Bob Knott and Linda & Tom McNear of Blenheim and she enjoyed golfing. She will also be missed by her dear friend Chris Rumble and by her loving companion, Chynna. It was Mary Anne’s wish that cremation be followed by a private graveside service at Evergreen Cemetery where she will be laid to rest with her parents. Friends wishing to remember Mary Anne with a memorial donation are asked to consider the Blenheim Relay For Life through the Cancer Society or to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
