Mary Koons (Katona)
March 13, 1937 - August 9, 2025
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Mary Koons (Katona) on August 9, 2025, at the age of 88. Born in Edmonton, Alberta, Mary was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She grew up at Baptiste Lake and lived in many communities across Alberta as the wife of an RCMP officer.
Mary worked in banking for many years, known for her kindness and professionalism. She loved curling, reading, playing cards, travelling and was a lifetime member of Grosmont Community Club.
She is lovingly remembered by her daughters Barbara Greenwood (Rodney) and Donna Parr (Donald Bryan); her Daughter-in-Law Serena Elliot (Chris); her grandchildren CJ Parr, Joel Parr (Arja Sormo), Zachary Greenwood (Hermin Lee), Michael Ursuliak, Adam Koons (Jessie Speakman), and Mikayla Koons (James Jobin); and her great-grandchildren Ailo, Emmett, Mai, Waylon, and Sierra.
Mary was predeceased by her husband James, son Robert, parents Julius Sr. and Elizabeth, and brothers Joe and William. Her strength, love and legacy live on in all who knew her.
The family would like to thank the staff at the Westlock Hospital and the Athabasca Community Chapel for their compassion and care. They would also like to thank all the family and friends who shared their time, their sympathy and love with us.
