Letourneau,Mary 2008-01-17 It is with great sadness that the Letourneau family announce the passing of their mother Mary Letourneau on January 12, 2008, after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born in Nova Scotia on September 13, 1927, and lived most of her adult life in Thunder Bay. Mary was a great cook and ran several restaurants in Thunder Bay over the years. She loved bingo, playing cards and occasional trips to the casino.
