Mary Elizabeth Robson (nee Goodwin)
passed away peacefully in High River on Sunday, March 8, 2020. Born in High River to Henry Thomas and Grace Crerar on
November 1, 1925, Mary lived on the farm
NW of town, attended Elite (a one-room school), Eastward school, and graduated from
High River High School in 1942. Sadly, her brother James Robertson and father, Henry, both died that same year and her plans for university were altered. Mary worked in banking and law offices in Brooks, High River, and Calgary, where she met William Kenneth Robson (also of High River). They married in 1958 and raised their children Douglas Craig and Kathryn Gayle in Calgary. Ken passed away in 1979. After the birth of Mary’s grand-daughter Emily Clair, Mary returned to High River to live (2010). Mary also leaves behind her daughter-in-law Elaine Lee, son-in-law Douglas Moskaluk, brother-in-law Stan Robson, and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
