OBITUARY FOR FRANÇOISE COMACCHIO (NÉE BARBE)
It is with deep sorrow that the family announces the passing of Françoise Comacchio (née Barbe) in her 94th year. Wife of Ugo (predeceased), mother of Elaine (Denis Blais predeceased), Richard (Janet Glass), Pauline (Michel Gravelle) and Robert (Patricia Fantin).

She was a woman of deep and abiding faith. Her life was bounded by family, community and her church. She was a lifelong parishioner of St. Paul the Apostle Coniston, a member of the choir and the Catholic Woman’s League for 70 years.
She loved family, parties and fun. She played the piano and sang and made a happy home for her husband and children as well as her large extended family. She embodied the proverb: “A home does not rest upon the ground but on a woman.” She will be greatly missed.
