DURNIN: Mary Lou

DURNIN, Mary Lou Josephine (Denomme)
Mary Lou Durnin of Goderich passed away peacefully at age 74 at Alexandra Marine and General Hospital, Goderich. Mary Lou was born in Clinton, Ontario to Edna (MacDonald) and Wilfred Denomme. The most precious thing in her life were her grandchildren, Ella Bester and Eric Bester. Mary Lou was the loving wife of 49 years to Allan and will be greatly missed standing by his side. Mary Lou was a beloved mother to Naomi Bester (Durnin) and mother-in-law to Rob Bester and will never be forgotten. She will be greatly missed by her mother Edna Denomme, her sisters Roseanne Yeats (Graham), Audrey Smith (Brian), Beverly O’Brien (Tim), Patricia Denomme (Mark Chisholm) and brother Wilfred Denomme (Joanne). She will also be missed by sisters-in-law Barbara Jeffrey (Raymond), Ruth Pauli (Ted) and brother-in-law Bob Durnin (Gwen). Mary Lou is predeceased by her father Wilfred Denomme. Also remembered by many nieces, nephews and dear friends.
Cremation has taken place. A Private Family Service will be held at Maitland Cemetery, Goderich. Memorial donations to the Alexandra Marine and General Hospital Foundation gratefully acknowledged.
