In recent months, she had set up a small encampment by a Shoppers Drug Mart near the intersection. Paramedics say they found her there in critical condition Saturday morning, around 7 o'clock. She later died in hospital.
Grazyna Gryciuk, who lives nearby, said Friday. She said she had asked Mary if she was going to a shelter the night before. "It was freezing," she said. "And I see she's shaking." Gryciuk says Mary told her she had a friend coming to pick her up, so she left her.
Gryciuk said she'd always remember Mary for "her smile, her angelic face, her beautiful, positive attitude." This small encampment by a drug store near Coxwell and Danforth avenues is where an unhoused woman was found in critical condition Saturday morning.
Kysela said she called out to Mary if she wanted food or anything, and Mary would always respond with a smile and gratitude, showing how the community supported her.
