Mom was predeceased by her husband, John; a daughter Giselle; stepmother, Agathe and a brother, Coral. Mom was a hard worker. She took pride in keeping her home immaculate, enjoyed digging for clams, picking blueberries and loved music. There were always lots of “goodies” in her kitchen and mom always welcomed everyone with open arms. Mom was a loving wife and mother who was blessed with good health until her diagnosis with dementia 12 years ago. Even though the disease took away her mobility and voice, mom was still “mom”. A special thank you to all the staff at Nakile for treating mom with the utmost respect and dignity for the past eight years. A thank you to everyone at Nakile for embracing us into your family. Special thanks to Dr. Loveridge, Dr. Julie Chandler and Dr. Lionel d’Entremont for seeing to mom’s medical needs.
