Mary Balazs

Mary Balazs (nee Schwager)
January 15, 1960 – March 6, 2022

How lucky are we – to have had someone in our lives

Peacefully with Family at her side on Sunday March 6, 2022, Mary Elizabeth Balazs passed away in her 63rd year.
Loving wife and life partner of 42 years to Andy Balazs. Life for Andy won’t be the same without her – they were quite a pair.

Loving Mother and best friend to daughters Cassandra Prouse (Brandon) of Tillsonburg, and Brooke Alden (Dan) of Hinton, Alberta. The legacy of her love will always be with you. Promise, that you won’t let your tears mar the smiles you gave her when she was alive.

Proud Nunny or Nanny to her grandchildren Myah, Max, Rosalie, Everly, and Oliver. They were the light of her life. Just remember, your Nunny’s hugs last long after she’s let go.                                                                                              

Oh, how Mary will be missed by sisters Margaret Schwager and Rose Lemieux. Growing old together, we didn’t know we were making memories, we were just having fun.

Mary will be lovingly remembered by nephew Nicholas (Amie), niece Jacqueline (Jason), and the rest of her family and her many friends.

Mary was predeceased by parents Ann and Joe Schwager, Rose and Andy Balazs, and other family members and friends.                                                     

Her life – too short, but those who knew her will understand that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. There was a lot of love in Mary’s life. The memory of her will keep us smiling.                                     

The family would like to expressly thank Kim, Lisa, and the support staff at Care Partners for their compassionate care. To the doctors and nurses who made Mary’s days more peaceful, Thank You.
