January 11, 1924 - March 20, 2020
At age 96, Mary passed away peacefully in the arms of her family.
Her time to be with her Lord and her much loved husband had arrived. She was born to Jacob and Marie Pauls in Russia and at a very young age moved to Canada with her parents. After graduating from Chilliwack high school she went on to study nursing at St. Paul's Hospital. Her professional career started as a registered nurse at the Chilliwack Hospital when she met Jack (Jacob) Unruh and they married on Aug. 6, 1950.
Mary and Jack established and managed their retail business, Unruh's TV and Stereo, for 25 years. During this time Mary raised a family of 5, traveled the world, learned to fish and enjoyed many motorhome excursions throughout North America. Mary was the centre of her family and get-togethers at the Unruh residence were frequent. Cooking, baking and visiting with family and friends were her reason for living. God, church, and reading the bible were her passions. Mary is predeceased by her husband Jack Unruh. She is survived by 5 children; Les (Kory) Unruh, grandchildren Mark, Michel, Shirley (Rich Mole) Unruh, grandchildren Jasmine, Beth, Jennifer, Pat (Bruce) Anderson, grandchildren Matthew, Kara, Gerald (Roslyn) Unruh, grandchildren Benjamin, Natasha, Lynda (Bob) MacInnis, grandchildren Chad, Megan, and twelve great grandchildren.
A special thank you goes out to the wonderful caring staff at Cascade Lodge.
The Celebration of Life will be at a future date and if desired donations can be made to MCC.
