McCall MacBain remembers her grandmother Mary L. McCall. Following the funeral and memorial services held in Seaforth and Brussels this weekend, I immediately felt I wanted to write to the members of our community in Huron East. It was upon the sad occasion of losing my grandmother, Mary L. McCall, that I have been reminded once again of the kindred and thoughtful group of people who come from what is formerly known as Huron County! It has been 13 years since I left Canada, and more than 15 since I left the county. And still I found myself incredibly grateful for the group of friends and family who assembled to celebrate the life of Grandma McCall. On behalf of the McCall family, thank you for your kind words and support over the years, and in particular this past week. For those of you who were unable to attend the ceremony, I wish to share an excerpt from the eulogy that was shared on May 9, 2015 at Northside United Church. Mary Louise Ireland was born on April 2, 1921. She was a lively youngster and had she not chosen to marry one of the finest men from Morris Township, she might have gone on to practise nursing, or could well have been the founder of a worldwide food and fashion empire. Our Grandpa Stewart McCall loved Mary for her patience, her wit and commitment to the finer things in life. Her sons, my dad Murray and our Uncle Jack, were born nearly seven years apart, I think just the right amount of time so she could spoil each of them to equal measure. Grandma was a woman who McCall is remembered by granddaughter Obituaries Lives Remembered REPRINTS OF PHOTOS taken by Citizen photographers are available to purchase.
