Lauretta Gagné
Mom, Grandma, Lauretta Gagne (née Burke), passed away peacefully to be with her Lord and Savior on Thursday, October 1st, 2020 at the Maison McCulloch Hospice at the age of 77 years. Born November 1st, 1942, daughter of Marie Antoinette Burke (Durreault) and James Edward Burke both predeceased. Loving sister of Joan Burke and Ron Burke (predeceased), (wife Lorna). Mom was wonderfully devoted to her 2 children Robert (Lise Diamond-Gagne) and Michel (Vesna Markovic-Gagne). She was a loving Grandmother to James Gagne (Stephanie), Dylan Gagne (Patrique Brochu), Jonas Markovic-Gagne and Tomas Markovic-Gagne and an Aunt to numerous nieces and nephews. Lauretta was a graduate with a BA from Laurentian University, graduate of the Sudbury Teachers College/École des Sciences and was a schoolteacher for 40 years. She pursued many volunteer opportunities, which she enjoyed very much. Lauretta was a member of The Daughters of Isabella and volunteered for the catholic churches of St-Jean de Brébeuf and St Patrick’s Parish. Her church family was always close to her heart. As an avid knitter and crochet enthusiast, she would knit hundreds of baby bibs and other clothing items for donation that went around the world to families in need. Her passion for the arts, music and the piano were a major part of our lives. She left us beautiful works of art that we will cherish and love for years to come. She led by example. There was never a job too large or too small that she would not tackle. We will miss her every day. Special thanks to the wonderful doctors and nurses at Health Sciences North, Northeast Cancer Centre and the Maison McCulloch Hospice. A Private Funeral Mass will be held at St-Jean de Brébeuf church, 26 Kathleen Street, Sudbury, Ontario on Saturday, October 24, 2020 at 10am.
