- Mary_Downer abstract "Mary Isobel Downer, Lady Downer (13 December 1924 – 14 October 2014) was a prominent South Australian patron, wife of federal MP and high commissioner Sir Alexander "Alick" Downer, and mother of Australian Foreign Minister and high commissioner Alexander Downer. Mary Gosse and her four brothers were raised in Parkside, Adelaide where she was educated at Seymour College, a private Uniting Church school for girls. Her father, Sir James Gosse, was a prominent Adelaide businessman and philanthropist, as was her grandfather Robert Barr Smith. At the age of 18, in the thick of World War II, like her brothers before her, she enlisted in the Army. She joined the Searchlight Battalion, where she served as a truck driver in Western Australia. She moved to London with her husband Alick Downer in 1964 as he took up the post of Australian High Commissioner. She became involved with an Australian expatriate community, establishing the Chicken and Chablis Club, and became Lady Downer in 1965 when her husband was knighted.Lady Downer was an active patron of the Mary Potter Foundation, from 1994. The foundation works to raise funds to support the work of the Mary Potter Hospice, operated by Calvary Health Care Adelaide, and to support the development of services to the terminally ill and their families by the Hospice through the provision of additional buildings, facilities, equipment and/or services. She was the primary patron of the Barossa Valley Music Festival in South Australia until its termination in 2005. An article on Lady Downer was featured in the Spring 2008 issue of Barossa Living.Mary, Lady Downer, died on 14 October 2014, aged 89, in London, while visiting her son Alexander Downer, the incumbent Australian High Commissioner to the UK. Her body was cremated at Mortlake Crematorium in London on 22 October 2014 after a service officiate by the Dean of Westminster.".
