BOCKER: It is with profound sadness that I, Gail (Nick) Karpo, of Edmonton, Alberta, announce the passing of my dear, beloved Mother, Mary Bocker, on Friday, February 13, 2015, at Hillcrest Place, at the age of 97 years. At Mother's request, no formal funeral service will be held, she will be laid to rest beside her late, beloved husband John, at a private family graveside ceremony at the Brandon Cemetery. Mary is survived by her daughter Gail (Nick) Karpo; younger sister Emily Kuzik; four sisters-in-law; two brothers-in-law, and numerous nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank the staff of BRHC, Assiniboine Centre and a special thank you to the staff of Hillcrest Place. Expressions of sympathy may be made at www.memorieschapel.com.
