So saddened Jeff to hear of the passing of Mary. She was a great person to know and we send our sincere sympathies to you and your family. Elmer & Laurel Spilchen

Jeff, I just recently heard of Mary's passing. Both my husband and I send you and your family our heartfelt condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was so sad to hear of Mary's passing. I had the privilege of speaking with her one day while she was having treatment. We didn't speak long but was so nice to see her. The next thing I knew, she had passed. She did so much for so many...so knowledgable. If you needed an answer, call Mary. To you Jeff & your family, my thoughts are with you. Deepest sympathy to all of you, Trudy Peterson

Dear Jeff, Robert, and Jan, I'll always remember Mary's beautiful eyes and her strong sense of dignity and respect. And then there's her laugh! You'll miss all of this and much more - but you also experienced her love! I'm so sorry she's gone. Laurie

Rob and family, We are so incredibly sorry to hear of your loss. She was an amazing woman who leaves a beautiful legacy. Our prayers are with you during this difficult time. With love from Rob & Genelle

Jan, I am so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. I did not know your mother personally but it is always tragic when we lose a parent. Hold on to the memories you have of her. These memories keep our loved ones with us always.

Thoughts and prayers to Mary's family at this difficult time. I worked with Mary at the GP Museum when she first started there with the Archives. She was an amazing lady, so helpful, and kind. She was so knowledgeable about GP and the history of the area, and so interesting to visit with. She was a wonderful person.

Jeff, sincere condolences in the passing of Mary. I had the pleasure of working with her while transcribing several historical documents in her latter years at the archives as well as serving together on the GP 100th Anniversary History Book Committee. Hold those fond memories close to the heart.

I sit here with tears in my eyes yet a small smile on my face and a warmth in my heart, this was the affect of knowing Mary. I worked with her over 13 years at the Museum and my some of my best memories involve Mary. We were a close knit group and Collections (Gary Thate, myself) and Archives (Mary Nutting and Karen Burgess)worked hand in hand every day. When I started it was on the end of the grant on minimum wage position, three months later it became a career as we were all planning and building a new Museum were Collections and Archive worked as one to build our dream. We imagined and created a space like no other where Collections and Archives worked as one. Every coffee time was met with sore muscles and a lot of laughter, with Mary always the mother that kept us (or tried to) in line. At Christmas we had a full meal cooked by the staff to celebrate Christmas together, why, because we were family. When disaster hit, as it always does, we stood together as one. I will always cherish my memories of that time and place, God bless you dear Mary, forever loved by us all. We had a dream and we made it a reality. Julie DeWInter

Had not seen Mary for a few years since retiring. My thoughts of her turn to her quiet smile and as kind being so much apart of her. So sorry for your loss.

Jeff, I am so sorry to learn of Maryâ??s passing. She was such a gentle soul and I enjoyed working with her many years ago. Someone mentioned her laugh and I do remember her laugh; and her beautiful smile and her warm, caring manner. I hope her many life accomplishments brought her comfort as I am sure her faith did. Edwin and I send our heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

Dear Jeff, I was very sorry to hear of Maryâ??s passing. My thoughts are with you. Jonathan Bayley (former music instructor, GPRC) Professor Emeritus, University of Windsor

Dear Nutting family, I am so sorry to hear about Mary. This belated message to express my condolences comes well after Maryâ??s passing. The distractions of 2020 have played a part in how long it has taken me to write this note but I have spent the past number of months much affected by the news of Maryâ??s death in April. I met Mary in the early 2000s, through the Archives Society of Alberta, when I was beginning my career in archives. She was a kind person and a wonderful role-model. I admired her patience and her commitment to her work. She leaves a wonderful legacy to her community and this province through her achievements at SPRA. I want to extend my deepest sympathy to all of Maryâ??s family. I will keep you in my prayers.
