TOKER, Mary TOKER MARY ELAINE THERESE BISHOFF/TOKER, loved most by the people who call her “Grum” passed away in her favourite place in the world, her cabin by Lundbreck Falls Alberta, on Saturday, August 10th 2024 at the young age of 78 years.
Grum is survived by her children, Shawn (Deanna), Shane (Christine), Shandi (Kristin), Shyann (Darren), grandchildren Brayden (Justin), Natasha (Trevor), Mariah (Sheldon), Mylanda (Jared), Jordan (Nash), Maitlynn (James), Hannah (Cayden), Maguire (Zoey), JT, Midnite, Mishynn and her favourite little man Magaven. Grum was blessed to meet her great-grandchildren William and Elowyn. She is also survived by her husband John much to her chagrin. Siblings Gary, Gerald, Leonard, Margaret and their families. Grum was predeceased by her nephew Ryan, brother George and parents Leonard and Anna Mary.
Grum graced the world with her presence on May 16th, 1946 in Empress Alberta. She lived on the Bishoff family farm as well at the convent in Prelate Saskatchewan. Together with her family, she travelled and sang, music was simply part of her soul.
In 1968 Mom married our Dad, and in the following years, their four children were born. Our childhood was full of baseball, hockey, and soccer… but camping and fishing were where the best memories were made! We’re sure this is where her deep love for the mountains and rivers began. In 2006 our parents bought Mom’s Heaven on Earth, their cabin sweet cabin. Through the years she transformed this cabin into her “place of peace”.
The best years of her life were when her grandchildren arrived. Mom turned into Grum, the sweetest, fun, no-rules human that ever did exist. Oh, how her Grandchildren love their Grum.
Their galivanting will be missed sending many Lethbridge and Crowsnest Pass business’ reeling.
Faith! Her love for the mountains is fitting as her faith & love of family were exactly like them! Undeniable, steadfast, strong, constant, and at times breathtaking.
