Mary passed in her 72nd year on Wednesday February 5 2025 surrounded by her girls after a brief, but strong fight.

Mary-Rose is survived by her 4 daughters, Tanya (Kyle Fox), Tricia (Stacey Felske), Amanda (Brian Carroll) and Mariah (Jordan Chapman) and her beloved and cherished grandchildren, Nicholas, Olivia, Jackson, Hayden, Hayley, Hanna, Sofie, Ayvah and Jamison.

Mary-Rose is the daughter of the late Terrance Loftus and the late Mary (Minnings).
She will be missed by her siblings, Carol (Bob Phillips), Francis (Gary Kenny), David (Jane), Marcia (Paul Ryther), Jackie Suszter and Mary-Rose will be happy to meet her brother Kenny at the gates of heaven.

Mary was a proud mother, grandma and a hard-working woman.
Mary moved to Prince Edward County in 1972 from Phelpston Ontario with her husband Barry Swan to raise her family.

Mary brought joy to the farmers of Bloomfield by making them breakfast every morning at The Junction. She was also a part of the Bloomfield social committee, which was instrumental in bringing smiles to the town by bringing them the first nighttime Bloomfield Santa Claus parade. And she continued to bring smiles to everyone she met for the rest of her life.

Mary will be missed for her sense of humour and her ability to light up every room.

Mary’s family would like to extend our warm thanks to the staff at Colllingwood and Orillia hospitals who provided mom with tremendous support and care.

A visitation will be held on Sunday, February 10 from 1 pm – 4 pm at the Lynn-Stone Funeral Home in Elmvale.

A Celebration of life will be held in Prince Edward County on Saturday, May 10, 2025. Further details to follow.

Memorial donations in Mary’s memory may be made to the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital.
