MaryGREETHAM(1933 -2026)

Mary Greetham, aged 92, passed away peacefully with her family at her bedside on 9th June 2026. Reunited with her beloved husband, Gordon.

A dedicated nurse, Mary spent her life caring for others with compassion, gentleness, and unwavering commitment - qualities that touched countless lives and earned her deep respect from colleagues, patients, friends, and family alike.

Mary was a beloved mum to David and Maureen, and Richard and Joanne. She was a devoted grandma to Paul and Sarah, Gemma and Andrew, Steven and Gemma, and Samantha and Matt. She was also a proud great-grandma to ten wonderful great-grandchildren who cherished her dearly.

Known for her warmth, humour, and kindness, Mary was a good friend to many more. She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

A service to celebrate Mary's life will be held on 7th July 2026 at 10:30 am at Grimsby Crematorium where family and friends will gather to honour her life.

Family flowers only please, donations for St Andrews Hospice will be collected as Mary volunteered there for over 20 years.

After the service there will be a gathering at the Wheatsheaf function room, where all are welcome to attend to share their memories of Mary.

May you rest in peace Sister Greetham. I was your Staff Nurse on May Ward in the late 70s early 80s. With respect and admiration.

Going to miss you after 38 yrs of friendship. We met in 1988 when we worked together on the children’s ward at Grimsby Hospital. A wonderful lady who will be truly missed x

Fond memories of Mary and Gordon, wonderful next door neighbours to us over the years at Hereford Ave. Both our parents would spend hours chatting over the garden fence. My dad would fix thing's for Mary after Gordon sadly passed, Mary was always on medical duty for us,especially when our daughter broke her arm. We were so grateful Auntie Mary was on duty on the children's ward. A lovely caring person.
Sincere condolences to all the family, your mum had a heart of gold.
