B10 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, October 3, 2001 YVONNE MOEN MARY MCGOWAN pas- sed away at Terraceview Lodge July 18, surrounded by loving family and friends, She was 72. At her eulogy, many were amazed at Mary’s accomplishments. She was ‘a generous, dedicated per- son in the community. Of course, everyone remem- bers Mary riding around in her ruby red electric scoo- ter. At times she drove pretty hectically, she was determined not to miss anything. Mary was born at home in Castlegar, B.C., on Feb. 26, 1929 ta Mary and Peter Wanjoff, the third of four children (one girl and three boys). Mary was raised in the Doukhobor faith, and she spoke fluent Russian until she went to an English school. At the time, her parents moved across the river to Robson, bought a beautiful farm with a three-storey house, a 12-unit dairy barn and 10 acres of fruit trees. Mary started going to an interdenominationa] church as a teenager. To the dissatisfaction of her parents, she joined the United Church. ; When Mary was 16, she teok over management of her father’s neighbourhood pracery store, which she ran for nine years. Her fa- vourite sparts were ladies’ softball and swimming in the ice cold Columbia River. Mary married her hus-" band, Alan MeGowan. on June 12, moved to Kitimat, B.C., before the smelter opened. The first 12 permanent houses were just being completed, and they were lucky to rent a room from Sophie and Mike Skitchko. They moved into their 1954. They. home on a bitlerly cold day in January, 1955, Son Joe was born March 1, 1955, in the old smelter- side beach hospital. The women in Kitimal had to put up with tremen- dous hardship; isolation from family, lots of mud and rain, deep snow, no radio, TV or phone, and no road to Terrace, Their second child, Sharon Ann, was bom Aug. 7, 1956, al the end of a re- cord sick week, When Sheardowns opened the Shopeasy Store in. Nechako Centre, Mary got a job along with a young teenager, Wayne Braid. This exposed her to all various immigrant women, she soon became and advocate for Women’s rights, advising many of their rights in Canada. Mary also became ac- tive in the founding of the Kitimat United Church. with Rev. Connal and worked at the original day care centre at Riverlodge when it was built. She became the Wel- come Wagon lady, again giving a great deal of inti- mate advice to new women, some of whom still live there. After a long and diffi- cult pregnancy and two months in the new hospi- tal, Mary gave birth to Skye Morgan on Dec. 6, 1965, She called him her California baby, because the family had just been on a trip to Disneyland. In September, 1971 the family moved to Terrace, to be closer to their real estate business. Mary did the books, Alan the grunt work, With the children growing up and becoming more independent, Mary got a job as a helper at Parkside School. In Terrace, Mary be- came the TV lady at Mills Memorial Hospital. That lasted about five years, but she had to quit because she was upsetling the doc- tors, giving advice to the patients that she felt made more sense. She became the repre- sentative for the Arthritis foundation, handling the yearly campaign for more than 20 years. When the Meals on Wheels program started d SSE Mary McGowan up, she also found time to deliver meals to elderly people, and ended up tak- ing them around town. Alan called her the “Road Runner”, Mary served on the board for the United Chureh, and also the board for the Tuck Ave. Seniors residence. Mary was a_ strong, long-term dedicated mem- ber of the Order of the Royal Purple. She made and donated’ the two large wooden em- blems of the Elks and Order of the Royal Purpie Crests on either side of the stage at the Elks Hall. In her later years, Mary was a member of the mu- nicipal seniors advisory commission and she sang in the Happy Gang Choir, Sadly, by this time, Mary’s health starled to affect her. After two and a half years waiting for an opening, Mary entered Terraceview Lodge, Mary was a very unique person. She will be re- membered for her good sense of humour, her smile and laughter. She has certainly left her touch in the commun- ity. Mary is survived by her husband, Alan, son Joe and duaghter-in-law Pegey, son Skye and daughter-in-law Stacey, and daughter Sharon and son-in-law John. . She’s also survived by her brother George Wanj- off and Phyllis, her nieces and nephews, Sherri and Kevin, and her beloved grandchildren Andrew, Paige and Lachlan.
