It is with deep sadness that the family of Mary-Ann Katherin Tabor (Chomitsa) announces her passing on January 18, 2021 at Southbridge Roseview.
Mary-Ann was the strong, independent first born to Harry and Nellie Chomitsa. She was born in St. Boniface, MB on August 9, 1942. When she was still very young, her family moved to Dryden, ON. This is where she and her two sisters, Linda and Elaine, grew up and completed high school. From early on in her life, Mary-Ann learned the value of hard work, both at home and at school. It was that deeply engrained work ethic that guided her through life. She set a stellar example for all those who paid attention. She was not a vocal or outwardly expressive person, but she had her values and always lived by them.
