Our deepest sympathy to the family on Reta’s passing. She was such a sweet lady and we remember our many conversations with her and her involvement over many years with the St. Mary’s Horticultural Society. We never saw a lady with such a beautiful smile. Rob and Sandra Mathieson.

Sincere condolences to the Facey family on Reta’s passing. Reta and Ray were inspirational in Ron and my interest in gardening. I think of Reta every time I see the “bear’s britches” that she gave to us. Like the very generous and thoughtful Reta, I split and share mine as she did hers.

My sincere condolences. Reta was a staple of the church. I felt she was like a mentor to me in the church. Also admired the flowers Reta and Ray weekly arranged at the front. Her presence in the pew has been missed since she was unable to attend. I am sure Reta and Ray have a pew in heaven.

To The Facey Family.... A pleasure to have known Reta as her and Ray were a constant sitting just a couple of pews head of our family in church for as long as i can remember. Her passion for keeping the church in flowers no matter what season was her joy, as she was devoted to her UCW and any church cause. Always nice to see her when she was out and about. Thinking of you and may your memories bring you peace and comfort.... Gary and Cynthia (Copeland) Mallalieu....

We’re deeply saddened to hear of Reta’s passing. She never failed to brighten our day when we chatted with her at the Farmers Market, at Horticultural Society events, or when she accompanied her beloved Raymond to Journal Argus events. Or condolences to the family.

The consummate example of a volunteer, and further, a community minded individual who has given for her entire life without expecting reward or recognition. If the world could be full of Reta Faceys, our world would be a wonderful place … and full of buccolic flower gardens. Nancy & Lorne Eedy

Condolences to Reta’s entire family circle. Reta was a loving caring lady. Always ready to help, Both her and Ray were such great gardeners and we went to Garden Tours together. When I was asked to ‘gussy” up the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum for the visit of Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his son Ben Reta was there to help in a flash. I cherish the last card I received from her just a short few years ago. Reta loved Jesus and is now in her heavenly home.

Janis & Rich We're sorry to hear that your Mom has passed. I only met her once when she & your sister were driving by and stopped to chat to me on our porch. We had a good chat and even in that short time I could tell she was a warm, friendly person. Remember all the great times and love you shared. Colleen & Mike Wraith

Thinking of all of Reta's family and friends. Reta was a very special lady who shared her knowledge in the kitchen and garden with many. She was the one that got me hooked on making bread and buns. I am forever thankful for what she taught me. May all your special memories bring you comfort in the coming days. Sending our deepest sympathy to each of you
