Mary Anne Dunne
March 29, 1939 – March 27, 2019

Mary Anne (nee Cyba) Dunne of Bethany Pioneer Village, Middle Lake, SK, (and formerly of LeRoy and Sinnett, SK), passed away at her residence on Wednesday, March 27, 2019. She was 79 years of age. Mary Anne, only child of Anne Cyba, was born on March 29, 1939 in North Battleford, SK. She attended school until she completed her Grade 10. She met William (Bill) Dunne while skating and they soon started dating. In March of 1954 they were engaged and on January 28, 1956, which was also Bill’s birthday, they were married in Sinnett, SK. She always joked that it was better to have cold hands than a cold heart, and that she was the best birthday gift he would ever get. Their first child, Brian, was born in 1957, followed by Harvey, Colleen, Dennis, Shirley, Matthew and Jennifer. Mary Anne was an artistic woman, who wrote poetry, drew and had an amazing singing voice. She loved the song Hail Mary – Gentle Woman, which will forever bring her close whenever we hear it. She loved nature, flowers, gardening, fishing, and collecting special stones on her walks. Mary Anne enjoyed baking, especially making buns, cinnamon buns and pie, and cooking for family and friends. Playing cards, scrabble and rummoli were other favorite pastimes. There was always room for one more at the table, and she always gave up the last piece of pie, even if it meant she didn’t get one at all. Mary Anne will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her children Brian (Tim Trotchie) of Saskatoon; Harvey (Gail Karoly) of Saskatoon; Shirley (Randy Hoffman) and their children Jessica and Amy of Humboldt; Matthew (Laura Renz) of Sinnett and his children Desiree, William and Brandon; and Jennifer (Amanuel Ghebremicael) of Kelowna. Mary Anne was predeceased by her husband William; daughter Colleen; son Dennis; mother Anne Cyba; and parents-in-law Charles and Mary (nee Koberinski) Dunne. A Private Family Graveside Service was held at St. Ignatius Roman Catholic Cemetery, Sinnett, on Thursday, April 25, 2019, officiated by Fr. Greg Smith-Windsor.
