So sorry for your loss. Mary Ann was certainly an animal lover, and Chief was the perfect horse for her. Mary Ann groomed for me for a few years when I was showing y horses and was a great travelling companion. She will be greatly missed by all who were lucky to know her

To the Chisholm Family, my deepest condolences go out to you on your great loss. Despite the thousands of prayers being recited for Mary Ann for her return to good health, it just was not meant to be. As mentioned in Mary Ann's obituary, as Assistant Director of Nursing at the R.K. MacDonald Nursing Home, Mary Ann had arranged for a Special Skills (Service Dog) through the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guide Program for a younger person who had suffered a stroke & who had become a resident of the Nursing Home. In fact this was the very first (Service Dog - Special Skills) for a resident of any Nursing Home in Canada. These Service Dogs are trained to assist at tasks such as opening institutional electric doors with these nose pushing the buttons, opening fridge doors (with the help of a towel tied around the fridge door handle) to retrieve a cold drink etc. Additionally, in this case Freedom (the Dog's name), used to shove this resident up into bed, when she went to get out of her electric wheelchair. The stroke had limited this resident's upper body strength & so Freedom's skills were amazing. One little story comes to mind before I end this condolence. Freedom's owner loved to be outdoors especially under the gazebo in front of the R.K. Nursing Home on a nice day where she would soon fall asleep. When this happened especially in the early years, Freedom would take off & go for a walk around town by himself. When the Lions Foundation of Canada found about about this, they were a little concerned for this $35,000.00 Guide Dog (cost to the Lions Foundation to raise, train & place with handler) on the loose. Freedom of course would be wearing his Lions Foundation of Canada harness on his trek around town & nothing ever happened. As he got older however, on a nice day Freedom would also fall asleep under the gazebo with his owner. The Lions Foundation of Canada through local Lions Clubs also raise & train Guide Dogs for people with vision loss Canine Vision, Hearing (loss), Diabetes Alert (low blood sugar), Seizure Response (people subject to seizures), Facility Support (those persons like veterans who are suffering because of their war time experience), Austism Assistance (children with austism ) & Service Dogs (Special Skills Dogs) at no cost for those that need a Guide Dog.

I knew Mary Ann from Camp Hill-she was a remarkable nurse and a sweet lady with a great sense of humour. I met her again through my NSNU work at RK and I was very impressed with her skills and knowledge working through labour relations issues. A life lost too soon. My condolences to the family.

To Fred, Carol, Jeanette and Darlene. I am heartbroken. Over 50 years of being neighbors and friends doesn't prepare you for this. My thought and prayers are with you all and all your spouses. And yes, I can imagine the laughs around the table with Noah. He is quite the little man. Take care, each of you.

When I arrived at the RK as an interim CEO, I was quick to note that Mary Ann stood for care and compassion. Nothing stood between the needs of the residents. Her advocacy role for the residents was one to be admired. I don’t think I ever thanked her for that- so I now offer a heartfelt thank you. Your caring will not be forgotten.
