It is with heavy hearts the family of Marie Mai (Gagnon) Connolly announces her peaceful passing which occurred on Friday, September 24, 2021, at the Loch Lomond Village, with her family by her side.

Marie was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and aunt. She loved spending time with family and was lovingly known as Mum-Mum, Gram-Gram and great Grammy by the ones she loved the most. Marie enjoyed the outdoors, she loved hunting, gardening and landscaping. She also loved working in the woodshop and doing renovations, no matter what she was doing she always had a smile on her face.
