Mercier, Maria Hélène Béatrice

Maria Hélène Béatrice Mercier

On January 9, 2025 Maria Hélène Béatrice Mercier passed away peacefully in the arms of her daughters at the Pasqua Hospital in Regina, Saskatchewan.

Maria is survived by her mother Gisèle; her four children Brooke (Marc), Tessa (Jim), Jessica (Marki) and Rachel (Brett); her two sisters Jeannine (Brian) and Leanne (Ken); her two beloved grandchildren Lyla and Harvey. Maria was predeceased by her father Georges Victor Mercier.

Maria was born in Ponteix, Saskatchewan on November 26, 1961 to Georges and Gisèle Mercier (née Carignan). At the age of four, she lost her cherished father to cancer. Shortly thereafter, she moved to Regina with her mother Gisèle and sister Jeannine.

Maria was a shy, bright and always-smiling young girl. She excelled in school and made lifelong friends in both elementary and high school. Upon graduating grade twelve, Maria achieved a diploma of nursing in Saskatoon and then later became a registered nurse in Regina.

Maria was passionate about nursing, with a special love for critical care, and it was most definitely her purpose in life. Her nursing career spanned over 30 years, and she retired in 2022. Shortly after her retirement, she was diagnosed with cancer. She underwent many treatments and had a positive attitude towards her recovery.

Through her physical and emotional healing in the last year of her life, this brought forth the Maria that everyone knew and loved. Unfortunately, in late December 2024, she fell ill unexpectedly and was unable to recover in the ICU. She left this world on a brighter note and though it was unexpected and quick, her daughters, sisters and mother were able to be with her, honour her and hold her until she took her last breath.

A formal service will be held in the Summer of 2025 in Ponteix, Saskatchewan. More details to follow.
