Mary Vaughan

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our wife and mother, Mary Vaughan on Friday April 2, 2010. Mom was born in Wallaceburg 77 years ago to Howard and Helena Elliott. Throughout her life she has been a hard worker. She met our Dad Leslie Vaughn while working in a tobacco field in Tillsonburg. Together they raised four children; Dianne Kuypers-Vaughan, Doreen & Robin Edwards and Howard & Diana Vaughan all of Chatham and Ronald & Deborah Vaughan of Blenheim. Mom was a loving and caring person who enjoyed knitting, quilting and gardening but her family always came first. She loved her grandchildren Harry Verburg, Thomas & Kathy Russelo, Roger Russelo, Katie Lucier, Kurt Lucier, Dale Edwards, Brent Edwards, Kelsey Edwards, Brooke Edwards, Maddalene Vaughan, Leslie Vaughan, Jo-Jo Vaughan, Kelsey-Lynn Vaughan, Todd & Shannon Walukiewicz, David & Diane Fahey, Shae-Lynn Vaughan, Shantel Vaughan and Ronald Vaughan and her great grandchildren Breyden Lumley, Quinn Fahey, Kevin Fahey and Allie Walukiewicz. Mom and Dad worked side by side owning their own fishing businesses, first WW and then H&R which is now run by Howard and Ron. They also owned Vaughan Fisheries until the last number of months when Mom has dedicated her time to taking care of our dad. Mom is survived by her sisters and brothers Leah Weaver, Alva & Fred Oliver, George Elliott and Harold & Rosella Elliott. She is predeceased by her sister Annie & Chuck Burroughs, her brother in law Frank Weaver and by her sister in law Linda Elliott. We invite our family and friends for visitation at the Blenheim Community Funeral Home on Tuesday April 6 from 7 – 9 p.m. and again on Wednesday April 7 from 12 – 2 p.m. A Funeral Service for Mom will follow visitation at 2 p.m. Cremation will follow. Anyone wishing to remember Mom with a memorial donation are asked to consider the Heart & Stroke Foundation or the Cancer Society.
