It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother Rachel at the age of 97. Rachel was born in Moose Creek Ontario to the late Joseph Perrier and late Marie Louise Tittley.
Rachel was predeceased by her loving husband Lucien Lavallée in 2012. Dear mother of François (Janis), Hubert (Norma), Normand (Dalia), Marielle (Woodrow) and Jocelyne. Grandmother of Sean (Danielle), Melissa Georgopoulos (Constantin), Eric (Adam), Sara Dyck (David), Ian (Phil), Julia Mazenc (Orin), Amanda (Kory), Sarah, Alexis, Sabrina and Philip. Great-grandmother of Kieva, Zoe, Finley, Stella and Hannah (predeceased).
Survived by two sisters, Sr. Georgette and Claire Warren, and one brother Charles (Cécile), sisters-in-law Odile and Claudette and brother-in-law Germain, as well as many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by siblings Aurèle, Antoine, Pauline Cantin, Germaine Sabourin, Sr. Bernadette, Rita Carrière, René, Rolland and Raymond.
Rachel initially had a career as a seamstress and taught sewing for the Singer Company in Ottawa. She met Lucien, who was from the Sudbury area, and they were married in 1954. Rachel and Lucien raised their 5 children on the farm in the Sudbury area. They valued hard work, getting an education, having a career and they passed these values on to their children. After retirement, Mom and Dad enjoyed travelling to Arizona during the cold Northern Ontario winters. They sold the farm in 2000 and moved to Ottawa. Rachel will be remembered for her strength, perseverance and independence.
Due to the restrictions currently in place, a celebration of Rachel’s life will take place at a future date. The family wishes to give special thanks to all of Rachel’s caregivers at Forest Hill. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Association of the Deaf (cad.ca) would be greatly appreciated.
Condolences may be conveyed through the West Chapel of Hulse, Playfair & McGarry at www.hpmcgarry.ca 613-728-1761.
