November 3, 1930 – October 19, 2014
It is with heavy hearts but treasured memories, we announce after a terribly short but extremely brave battle with brain cancer, the passing of our dearly loving mother Marie Ruth Mason (nee Betteson) on Sunday, October 19, 2014, at Matthew’s House Hospice, Alliston, surrounded by the love of her family. She was a truly devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who put everyone first. She touched people every day with her selflessness, thoughtfulness and kindness. She demonstrated strength and an unwavering commitment to her family and friends. Deeply loved and sadly missed by her son Glenn and his wife Yvonne, daughter Dale and her husband Mark Blaire. Predeceased by her loving husband Mervin (March 24, 2014) and her youngest child Grant (May 20, 1964) and her only sibling Earl Betteson (August 2, 2002). She was the only daughter of the late William and Mabel Betteson. Cherished grandmother of Shawna and her husband Rob Sgro, Dawn Mason and Jeff Cooper, Kelly and her husband Reno Aimola, Scott Blaire and his wife Erin, Janell Mason and Ivan Choo-Ket-Loung. Loved by all her great-grandchildren. The hugs and kisses, the smiles and the laughter, are precious things we will never forget. That’s why we will love her forever and always.
The family will receive their friends at the Egan Funeral Home, 203 Queen Street S. (Hwy. 50), Bolton (905-857-2213) Friday, October 24 from 5 – 9 o’clock.
Funeral service will be held in the chapel on Saturday, October 25 at 2 o’clock. Interment Morningside Cemetery, Palgrave.
If desired, memorial donations may be made to Matthew’s House Hospice, Alliston or to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Glenn, Yvonne. Dale and Mark. I have such fond memories of your mother and father – at church, in the community- always with a friendly greeting to me ( and others). Both of your parents loved to laugh, both of them had such great love for you! And love continues- even after physical death as Paul writes to the Corinthians: ” love is patient, love is kind… Love never ends” . While each of us misses our respective parents who have passed on, we are so fortunate to have been loved and continue to be loved by them. Blessings to you and all those you love, warm regards, Wayne McCulloch

I was very sad to hear of the passing of Marie and I am sure that her,s and Merv,s passing are something that you will never really get over. I suppose the only consolation is that as time passes the sorrow will be replaced by happy memories and that now merv and marie are together again and like my mother and father are probably bickering back and forth and things are for them as they should be.

Dawn and Glenn and families:
I am so sorry not to have got in for the visitation. I did go to Egan’s Friday afternoon but had not noticed it didn’t start until 5 p.m. We had family visitors that evening and I wasn’t able to stay. My thoughts have been with you – to lose your mother so soon after your father must have been a blow.
God bless you and give you peace.
