Mary Henry

Born in New Waterford, she was the daughter of the late James and Veronica (MacPherson) Gardiner. 'Cissy' was a loving mother and grandmother who enjoyed fishing and camping with her family in her younger days, but nothing could compare to a good game of tarabish, a game she loved to play anytime.
