Pierre and Andrée Bédard Dear Fred and family,
It is with deep regret than we learned of Mary’s death. It was with great pleasure that we spent some time with her in our visit to Victoria in August 2009. It was important for me to meet her and thank her not only because of her expertise and excellent care she gave to our patients at the Cardiac Unit, but also because she was a source of inspiration on how to be a warm doctor.
Thank you MaryPierre

Richard Lindo As President of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute Patient Alumni I wish to express our deepest sympathy to the Clinckett family for your loss. Mary Clinckett was the founder of the UOHI Alumni, an association of former patients. It continues to thrive today after more than 25 years with over 3,000 members. The Alumni created the Mary Clinckett Award some years ago and it is presented on an annual basis to recognize exceptional contributions by Heart Institute nursing, administrative, support or volunteer personnel. It is considered a very prestigious award and recipients are very proud to receive it.

Wilbert &Anne Keon Dear Fred & FAMILY, Please accept our deepest sympathy on Mary’s passing. Mary designed the prevention and rehabilitation floor for the heart institute and indeed developed the program; this program and facility remain unequalled in Canada. During our long association we became wonderful friends. She kept me updated through Anne on the H.I. retirement contingent in Victoria. She will always hold a very special place in my heart and mind. We will miss her greatly. Sincerely Wilbert & Anne

Renee NUSSEY Dear Clinckett Family
I would like to add my condolences on the loss of such a grand lady. I have many fond memories of life on Parkdale Ave. Jane, you and I spent many hours together and I can’t forget the look we would get when we did something wrong. She never yelled but we knew we were in trouble. She sure made the best oatmeal cookies.
Jane if you are still in Ottawa please give me a call and we can get together and remember old times. We are still in Mallorytown. Love to all of you Renee

Mary and Ian Glen To Mary’s devoted and beloved family,
Ian and I send our heartfelt sympathies to you all. We both have great memories of a woman of substance and character who served her profession, delighted in her family and always made us laugh. Mary and Fred were a great and influential team: look how they managed to uproot most of the Ottawans and transplant them to Sidney! To the kids, grand- and great grandkids we know you will miss her so much. The whole world will.
We are holding you in our thoughts and prayers.
Love from Mary and Ian

We will always be thankful that she and mom became immediate friends all those years ago when mom moved into the condominium. I know she was the light of your life as well, and we are truly saddened that she has passed on. Thankfully, you have other family close by to support you at this time and to provide continuing joy in your life. Please know that our kindest thoughts are for you at this time.
