Mary Jane Lackner

Mrs. Mary Lackner

Friends and relatives in Waterloo. Kitchener and district learned with sincere regret of the passing of a former local resident in the person of Mrs. Mary Lackner, relict of the late Mr. Lackner, and daugh- ter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Levi Stauffer. She slept peacefully away at her home, 712 Irvin Street, Windsor, on Wednesday, Sept. 4th, following a lengthy illness. Following the death of her husband 23 years ago, near Hawkesville, where he conducted a farm, she moved to Waterloo where she resided until she moved to Windsor about ten years ago. Until her health failed her, she took an active interest in church work. She was beloved by all who had the privilege of her acquaintance.

Surviving are four sons and two daughters, Vernon and Graham, of Detroit, Reginald, of Windsor, Harvey of Toronto, Mary and Lorna of Windsor; also four sisters and one brother. Mrs. Lydian Shantz, Didsbury, Alta., Mrs. Chris- tena Graff, Milford, Iowa, Mrs. I. C. Hallman and Mrs. E. C. Hallman, R.R. 3, Waterloo, and Dr. L. L. Stauffer, Waterloo.

A simple and impressive funeral service was conducted Friday afternoon at Letter & Dreisinger's Funeral Home, by Rev. E. Val. Tilton, pastor of the First United Church at Waterloo. Tribute was paid to the fine Christian character of the deceased. Reference was made to her fine interest in church work and as a loving mother and wife. The remains were laid at rest in the family plot in Mount Hope cemetery. The pallbearers were Messrs. Dr. L. L. Stauffer, Harley C. Stauffer, Maurice Hallman, Wm. Mitchell, Ward Stauffer and Berton Shantz. The floral tributes sent by friends were beautiful and numerous.
