Quigley, Mary Lucia Wintermeyer, Mary Lucia Wintermeyer Quigley died in her home in London, Ontario, surrounded by her seven children, on Friday December 1st, 2006. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Mal (Malachi Edward Quigley) and her devoted parents, Caroline Kaiser Wintermeyer and Alfred Carl Wintermeyer and her much beloved brother and sister, John Wintermeyer and Rita Shoniker, each who nurtured in her the incredibly strong sense of commitment, love and compassion to others. Mary taught her children, John Quigley, Ted Quigley, Caroline Quigley, Meg and Gerry Hawkins, Therese Quigley, Patrick Quigley and Daniel Quigley, that compassion for others is the greatest virtue and expression of a true love of God. She was a caring and loving "Nana" to her Grandchildren Jamie Hawkins, Matthew Hawkins, Joseph Hawkins and Sara Macmillan, Katie and Adam Ward, Megan and Jeff Graham and Cory Quigley. Her sisters Lucy Quigley, Betty Brennan and Therese Wiley and her brother-in-law James Wiley, while mourning their loss, rejoice in the knowledge that Mary is indeed now home through the grace of God. Her brothers-in-law, William Brennan and Edward Shoniker and her sisters-in-law, Helen Delaney Wintermeyer, Betty Lang Wintermeyer and her niece, Judith Wintermeyer Dona preceded her death as well as did Mal's brothers and sisters whom she dearly loved, Mary (Mamie) Currie, Johanna Gleeson, Ellen (Bill) Ryan, Jack Quigley, Gertrude Gleeson, Harry Quigley and Blanche Kelly all of whom brought into Mary's life such wit and laughter.
