Peacefully with the family by her side at the Temiskaming Hospital on Friday, August 27, 2021, Gisèle Auger (née Gagné) of New Liskeard passed away at the age of 81. Loving wife of Rock Auger for 64 years. Beloved mother of Brigitte, Patrick (Colette Maxwell), Stephanie (Mark Wolfe), Céleste (Jean-Luc Proulx), Bernadine (Chris Fraser) and Dominique (Nathan Morgan).
Devoted grandmother of Geneviève, Mathieu (Miruna) and Emilie Moise, Kevin (Angèle), Gabriel (Tiffany) and Alexandre (Michelle) Auger, Zachary and Samuel (Mélanie) Carrière, Jacob et Nicolas Proulx, Aidan and James Fraser, Ciele and Sage Morgan.
Survived by her great grandchildren Anthony, Mia, Elianne, Derrik, Maxim, Noah, Reese, Gemma, Annabelle, Philippe and Coralie as well as many nieces and nephews.
Gisèle was predeceased by her parents Ludger and Marie-Ange (née Denis), parents in-law, Aurélien and Marie-Thérèse (née Cadieux) Auger, sister Denise and brother Jean-Paul, brother-in-law Pierre, sisters-in-law Angèle and Geneviève, nephews Vincent, Martin Jr., Jean Frédéric and Evan as well as her grand-daughter Mariah and great grand-daughter Ava.
Left to mourn are sisters Louise (late Jean-Paul Rivest) and Madeleine (Gérald Leveillé), brother-in-law Martin Auger (Patricia Grandmont), sisters-in-law, Anne, Marita (Daniel Piché) and Felicity (Claude Béland).
Our mother set aside her nursing career and devoted herself to raising her six children while working alongside our father on the farm. An avid artisan, she enjoyed knitting, sewing, weaving and many other handicrafts with which she gifted us throughout her life.
Every September, she looked forward to the New Liskeard Fall Fair, serving in roles such as director, judge, exhibitor and volunteer. She enjoyed reading and should have been a contestant on her favorite game show Wheel of Fortune.
She will always be remembered and deeply cherished for her wholeheartedness, generosity, gentleness, playfulness and adorable sense of humour as well as her delicious home cooked meals. Because of her own sweet tooth, our family and guests were treated to her fabulous desserts. There was always room for dessert! Nothing gave her more pleasure than to gather with her family and loved ones.
Rest in peace, our beloved Gigi, and watch over us. You will remain forever in our hearts.
As per Gisèle’s wishes, cremation has taken place at Lakeview Crematorium and the family will have a private ceremony of her life in the Fall 2021.
In memory of Gisèle, donations may be directed to the Temiskaming Hospital Foundation – Care Close to Home (421 Shepherdson Rd., New Liskeard, ON – P0J 1P0).
Arrangements entrusted to Buffam Leveille Funeral Home, 705-672-3122.
