To the Prince Family,Deepest condolences. Mary Lee was taken much too soon and the loss is simply not fair. I have not seen Mary Lee is quite a few years but I always remember her being a happy, quietly confident person who brought a smile to everyone’s face.

To Warren Prince,Warren, my deepest condolences to you and your family. Mary Lee was a good friend and a beloved colleague. I remember when she was hired at Woburn Collegiate and I had the privilege to watch her teach Latin. She was lovely, knowledgeable and charismatic. What grit she had to keep the programme alive against such formidable odds.
Ea requiescat in pace.

Mary Lee was my first friend at Woburn and we remained the best of friends for almost fifty years. Wonderful that that first friendship blossomed to include our families.

I met Mary Lee at Knitting Three Together while hanging out there on my lunch hour. Lunch hour always consisted of laughs, talk, more laughs, the odd knitting help and inspiration, more laughs, picture taking with Flat Stella, hugs when I needed a hug or two and again, more laughs!
Mary Lee you will be missed. I was truly blessed to meet you and share with you many laughs. Thanks for the great memories.

It was always a pleasure to see Mary Lee, she had time for a chat and a few laughs, keeping us updated on her “Boys”” and so proud of her grandchildren. She had a zest for life and loved being on the lake. Warren

Lisa Weeks and Pete Preradovic
Mary Lee’s zest for life really shone through in her interactions with family and friends and in her sense of adventure and travel. She was compassionate and nurturing to those around her and her laugh was heartwarming. We will dearly miss her but will remember her and smile when wearing the lovely hat she made me, when we entertain using all the lovely pottery she gave us, when we eat rumballs or shepherd’s pie, and when we gaze out at the lake up north.Her life was cut way too short, but she lived its width fully. There will always be a place for her in our hearts. Our lives were touched by Mary Lee. We are sending our love to Warren, Eric, Blair, Bryan and family during this most devastating time.
