Mary Watterworth, affectionately known as Nana, lived a beautiful life, left us peacefully on December 24th, 2025. Beloved and devoted wife of the late Douglas Watterworth (2006). Loving mother of Joanne Nanni (Jim), Paul Watterworth (Paula), Norma Unsworth (Rod) and Lisa McCarley (Clay). Cherished grandmother of Pamela (Paul) de Pencier and Monica (Shawn) Young, Josh (Annika) Watterworth and Jessica Watterworth, Megan Unsworth and Matt (Adrienne) Unsworth, Christopher (Maddie) Gregg and Kyle Gregg. Mary’s greatest joy was her family and was a heck of a playmate to Violet, Alice, Ben, Eli, Albert and Vincent, her great grand children. Mary will be sadly missed, always remembered by many extended family and friends especially the Leones. Mary’s life was a tapestry of love, tenacity, with lots of hobbies including gardening, sewing, knitting, crocheting and a fierce Pepper and Euchre player. Cremation has taken place and a private family funeral will be held. Sympathy may be expressed through donations to the Petrolia Community Refrigerator http://www.petroliakiwanis.ca/donate or cash/cheque to the Lambton Centennial School Playground Project.

I was sad to hear of Mary’s death. May she now rest in peace. I got to know Mary through St. Philip’s church and I played cards with her quite often on Friday evenings at the church hall. I eventually found out that Norma, who facilitates a seniors exercise class on Wednesdays that I attend, is Mary’s daughter. It’s a small world; there are so many connections! Thoughts and prayers are with you Norma and the family.
What a lovely tribute – it touches all the things I associate with Mary.
Love and hugs to you Norma, Rod and to your whole family.
Rest in peace Mary, knowing you’ll never be forgotten.
Norma, we were so saddened, when you told me about the passing of Mary, she was such an amazing Mom, Grandma, neighbour and friend to many. You will miss her so much but will be reminded of her love for gardening every time you step out of your house and look at your beautiful yard. Sending our love. Len & Judy
