Mary Blocka passed away peacefully on October 17, 2025, in Brampton, ON, surrounded by her loving family after a long battle with lung cancer.  She will be dearly missed by her family and friends.

Mary was born in Hafford, SK on July 12, 1931, to Michael and Helen Kalyn, one of eleven children. Mary was predeceased by her loving husband of 61 years, Marion; and loving son Ken.  Mary is survived by her children, Larry (Elaine), Bob (Jean), and Bonnie (Chris Clarke); her grandchildren, Nicole (Brian), Chad (Vanessa), Garrett, Bryn, Cole, Robin and Gavin; her great-grandchildren, Tyler, Kaylin, Eugene and Lucille.

Mary will be remembered for her hard-working nature, sense of humour and love of family. Mary worked tirelessly alongside her husband Marion to grow a successful farm and as a custodian at the Victoria Union Hospital. In her spare time, many hours were spent ice fishing with close friends, listening and dancing to old-time music and playing cards. Marion and Mary were fortunate to have been able to spend 17 years wintering in Arizona where they cherished the time spent with many special friends.
