Mary MacGillivray has Reach her 100th Year Valerie Gillies Editor, Lucknow Sentinel A 100th birthday celebration was held for Mary MacGillivray (nee Hackett) at Pinecrest into the hallway to express their best wishes. Throughout the open house held for Mary, there were pages left out for well wishers to record their memories over the years. It is a trib- ute to this wonderful lady that it took 8 pages to hold these thoughts. Mary's daughter Ruth wrote, "Mom is so lucky, she never took a piano lesson, but she plays piano and harmonica by ear so well! We went to Langside Pres- byterian Church until it closed, the Mom went back to Lucknow United Church when they moved to town. Mom enjoyed being with the ladies' groups, women's UCW and WI and Lucknow Hor- iticultural Society until she got into her ninties." Son Bob writes, "Mom was always the best for the big family home -cooked meals! We were always welcome to come home and enjoy her great baking and cooking together. Good memories!" Carolyn wrote, "I remember my mother being the best mother God ever gave anyone. Managed the best she could. Always there for us doing whatever she could. Great role model. Love her to pieces:' The baking and cooking theme, as well as the warm welcoming home are repeated throughout the pages and in the memories of those who are blessed to know Mary MacGillivray. Her grandchildren share that they have special memories of being taught to bake special recipes, as well as receiving lots of help for 4-H sewing projects. It is stated that Mary was happiest when her home was filled with her children and grandchildren. A tribute to Mary MacGillivary is best summed up by her grand daughter Kimberly. "Even though I don't get to see you as much as I would like to, you have always been in my heart and on my mind. Love always..."
