With deep sadness we announce that our beloved wife, mother and grandmother, Fernande «Fern» Bilodeau passed away at home on Sunday, June 30, 2024 at the age of 77 years, with her loving family at her side.
Fern was born to Joseph and Anne-Marie Picard in Sainte-Hélène de Mancebourg, Quebec. She married Lucien in 1973 and together they moved to Ontario where they raised their children and she worked as a custodian for Superior-Greenstone District School Board for over 30 years. They moved to Cochrane, Alberta in 2017 to enjoy retirement and to be closer to their three grandchildren.
Her infectious laughter, sharp wit and wonderful sense of humour brought joy to all those around her. She loved spending time with her family, especially during the Holidays, and was always the last to go to bed because she was the life of the party. Memories with her siblings poured out in contagious laughter, and could be heard throughout the house.
Her home was a testament to her green thumb, filled with thriving plants that reflected her nurturing spirit. She found joy in watching birds in her backyard, tending to her beloved flowers, listening to country music and going for peaceful walks in the outdoors. She was also well known for her crepes and French Canadian holiday meat pies, which were always requested by friends and family.
Fern was most proud of her children and grandchildren, always cherishing the moments they shared and celebrating their achievements. A true hockey enthusiast, she especially loved the Montreal Canadiens and spent countless hours in local rinks cheering on her grandkids with pride.
A hard-working, selfless woman, she was always putting others first, and she was the first to help anyone in need. Her passionate Catholic faith was a cornerstone of her life and provided her strength and comfort during difficult times.
Fern will be deeply missed by her husband of 51 years, Lucien; son Eric (Mélanie); daughter France (Bryan); son Marc (Anthea); grandchildren, Chase, Shae & Keane; siblings, Anita (Aurèle), Raymond, Gemma (Wayne), Yval (Francine), Denise (Joe), Annie (Warren), Bertrand, Marcel; as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and friends. She was predeceased by her parents, and sisters Jacqueline, Laurence and Cecile.
If desired, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society in her memory www.cancer.ca
A Funeral Service will be held for Fernande at St. Mary’s Catholic Parish (10 River Heights Drive, Cochrane, AB) on Wednesday, July 10, 2024 at 11:00 am.
