It is with deep sadness that on Monday, October 16, 2017, our mom, Irene passed away peacefully in her sleep, at home, at the age of 101 years and 6 months.
Irene's memory will be lovingly remembered and forever cherished by her eleven children and their families, including 33 grandchildren, 66 great-grandchildren, and 21 great-great-grandchildren.
She will also be fondly remembered by her three sisters and two sisters-in-law with their respective familes, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her husband, Victor in 1950; her parents, Joseph and Marie; sisters Marie, Theresa, Lucille and Jeanette; brothers Armand, Roland and Jerry; two grandchildren Jimmy and Angela Meilleur, daughter-in-law Therese Brouillette, and son-in-law Vincent Mondoux.
Mom was a special and hard-working woman who sacrificed everything for her family. Her deep faith, gentle wisdom and kindness helped her through many difficulties and trials throughout her life's journey. In spite of all of this, her greatest pride and joy was spending time with family, especially all of the family reunions, and her 100th birthday celebration.
We are grateful for her faith, her work ethic, the love and kindness she shared to enrich our lives with those very same values. We are also privileged for having had Mom with us for this long, and will forever cherish fond memories of our mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother.
We love you Mom. You will be forever etched in our hearts.
The family wishes to extend a special thank you to all of the Palliative Care Nurses, especially Germaine, and the respite workers who were of great help and support in her final two years.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated by Father Leon on Friday, October 20, 2017 at 1:00 p.m., at the Paroisse du Précieux-Sang, 200 Kenny Street, with visitation at 12:00 p.m. and the rosary at 12:30 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Mom's memory may be made to the Paroisse du Précieux-Sang.
