Notes about Mary Winona Sherren

Mary attended school in Crapaud and Prince Street School in Charlottetown. She was fairly involved in sports and showed a strong interest in music. When she was young, she taught herself to play the piano and guitar which provided entertainment for family and friends.

In 1954, she married Donald Craig from Tryon, a village which borders on Crapaud. They took up residence with his parents, maintaining the Craig farm until the passing of Don´s father.

Looking for adventure, they moved west to Alberta where they lived for a short while. Missing their families, they went home to PEI settling in Montague. Here they opened their own hair styling salon and barbershop. During this time, they also became involved in politics. Don was a delegate for the Conservative party and Mary a secretary. They retired from this business, moved to Charlottetown where they purchased the home of Mary´s parents.
