LEE, Maria (Mary) Theresia (nee Deck)…
LEE, Maria (Mary) Theresia (nee Deck) passed away peacefully at London University Hospital on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, at the age of 87. She was the beloved wife of the late Paul Lee. She was predeceased by her parents Sebastian Deck and Luise (Kastner), and dear sisters of Hildegard Ball (Otto), Irmgard Rimmelspacher (Richard), and Rose D’Addazio (Ottavio), nephew Andrew (Andy) Monig (Carolyn) of Peterborough, and niece Sharla Thompson (Michael) of London, and Tanya Wisnowski, Sarnia.
She was a loving mother to her daughter Mary Muller (Michael), cherished grandmother to Brandon Dube (Josephine), Kyle Dube (Danielle), and Shayah Reed (Dan), and a beloved great-grandmother to Sawyer, Carmelo, Jackson, and Ryder.
Mary will be sadly missed by her brother-in-law Peter Lee (Marlene), and sister-in-law Sharon Wisnowski (Leo), any many nieces and nephews in both her native country Germany and Canada, including Peter (Butch) Monig of Peterborough, Greg Wisnowski of London, and Michael Wisnowski of Nelson BC,, and niece Sherry Lee (Greg Newsome) of Toronto.
Mary and Paul were loved and respected by friends too numerous to mention in the Weslemkoon Lake/Gilmour/Coe Hill, Ontario area where they lived for over 40 years. The warm and loving times of fun, fishing, and laughter, shared with family and friends, will endure in our memories.
Special thanks to her brother-in-law Peter for caring for her, honouring his promise to his brother Paul.
Special thanks and gratitude is also extended to:
The marvellous professional, yet deeply personal care of Dr C Anaedu of Whitehills Medical Clinic. She is the very best General Practitioner one could ever hope for.
The wonderful, caring, and loving staff of Fox Hollow Retirement Residence, where Mary spent her last few years.
The doctors and staff on the 9th Floor at London University Hospital for their tender and compassionate care during her recent illness.
Father Dan Vere who faithfully visited Mary and ministered to her spiritual needs in her last days.
In lieu of flowers, donations to a charity of your choice in Mary’s memory would be deeply appreciated.
A Celebration of Life for family and friends will take place at a future date.
