Mammy
(Alice Russell)
1914 - 1996

 

Estuary, Saskatchewan was once a booming community. Today, only a few houses and stone foundations are all that remain.

Mammy's Place belonged to Alice Russell, affectionately known to her family and friends as "Mammy." She moved to Estuary in 1918, where, with her husband Lawrence, raised their three children. She remained in her beloved little home until her passing in 1996. She was the last living resident of Estuary.

 Mammy’s Place is now owned by Alice’s grandson, Perry Leach.  Although Mammy has passed on and Estuary as a town is gone, Perry, his wife Sheridale, and their two sons take great pride in preserving Mammy's memories by offering her home as a private guest house.
