Odette a occupé un poste administratif très chargé au bureau du Patrimoine canadien de Moncton. Comme l’a dit l’un de ses collègues, “tous les jours, elle avait le sourire aux lèvres et elle riait beaucoup !”. Quelle merveilleuse façon de se souvenir d’elle. Au nom du ministère du Patrimoine canadien, je présente nos sincères condoléances à sa famille et à ses amis. / Odette served in a busy administrative role with the Moncton Office of Canadian Heritage. As one of her colleagues said, “Every day, she had a smile on her face and she laughed a lot!” What a wonderful way to be remembered.
