Born in Tremont, she was the daughter of the late Leslie and Eva (Ward) Creemer. Previous to moving to Kingston, Mary spent most of her days in Aylesford with her late husband Bertwell Keddy, who she was married to for 57 years.

Mary was a kind, caring, generous and loving person.  She always had a big smile and was ready to give you a hug and a kiss.  She had a way of making everyone feel loved and important. She was concerned about everyone's wellbeing and kept up to date on how everyone was doing.  Mary loved cooking and baking and was always prepared to feed whoever walked through the door and she made sure everyone had something to eat when they visited. She was always making cookies, pies, apple sauce or other preserves.  She also had a great love for classic country music and enjoyed going to music jam sessions or just sitting and listening to it.

Mary was a beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother who was grateful and proud of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She loved to hear stories of what the great grandchildren were up to and enjoyed watching videos and pictures Ian had taken of their activities.
