CANEJO, Mary E., age 69, of New Boston, October 23, 2022. Born February 24, 1953 in Jellico Tennessee. Beloved wife of the late Gervazio Canejo. Loving mother of Darren Canejo and Tara (Joey) Mendrysa. Dearest grandmother of Joseph Gervazio Mendrysa and Eva Jean Mendrysa. Caring stepmother to Terry Canejo, Jean Bliss, Cindy Canejo, Jeff Canejo, Bruce Canejo and the late Chris Canejo. She is also survived by her sister Lois (Gary) Adkins and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. She is preceded in death by her parents John and Margie Lowe, her sister Willidean Daniels and her brother James Lowe.
Mary enjoyed long conversations with her family and friends, listening to Cher and the Judds, watching General Hospital and HSN, and especially going shopping. She couldn’t pass up a garage sale if she drove by one. She had endless clothes, purses, shoes and face creams she enjoyed.
Most importantly, she loved to laugh and make others laugh too. She was a great storyteller- not one detail was left out. It brought her great joy to pull a prank on someone. There are many comical memories to share. Not only was she a prankster but she was also a giver. She wouldn’t hesitate to help her family and friends during times of need.
After her husband passed in 1995, she raised her children on her own and was proud of the lives they built and the good people they are today. Mary loved being a grandmother and enjoyed reading books to her grandchildren. She enjoyed playing Go Fish with her grandson and styling her granddaughter's hair like her own. Mary will be deeply missed by all who knew her. May she rest in peace and her memory live on forever.
