Mary Manzardo

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Mary Jenny Manzardo on October 27, 2023, after a prolonged battle with Alzheimer’s and COPD.

Mary was born as Mary Jenny Weiler on August 3, 1931 in Nobleford, Alberta. She relocated to Calgary in 1949 to study Nursing and, while there, met the love of her life, Frank (Curly) Manzardo. Thus began a true love story that has lasted over 70 years. They were married in December of 1953.

Mary was a dedicated mother to her children Brian, Cathy, Randy, Sandy, Gloria and Rosemarie, an amazing grandmother to Jonathon, Jordan, Mandy, Aly, Brandon, Brianna and Gloria, and a proud great-grandmother to Johannes, Hailee, Antonio and Sofia.

She was pre-deceased by parents Conrad and Katherine, Step-mother Elizabeth, sisters Kay, Edie and Betty, and daughter Gloria.

A funeral will be held at 11:00am, on Thursday, November 2, 2023. at Our Lady of Fatima church (315 Walker St., Coquitlam). Immediately following, attendees are invited to join the family in the church hall for a light lunch and refreshments and to share memories of an amazing woman. A private graveside service and interment will occur at a later date.

The family asks that, in lieu of flowers, a donation in Mary’s name be made to either Crossroads Hospice or CLEAR Alzheimer’s Research.
