Loved her family dearly

Loved to cook

Loved to garden

Loved her Montreal Canadiens

Loved her long walks



Many will remember her as a fixture at the Warren Arena where she worked side by side with her husband Jay to keep it spotless. She was very proud of her cleanliness. She was a very faithful and devout catholic and devoted many hours to volunteering for church events and every event at her beloved "Domaine de Pionniers".

Her Ragout and Tarte-au-sucre cookies were the best!!

Her energy and organization was admired by all.

She was proud to be able to walk miles and miles even into her 80s.



The family will receive friends at Theoret Bourgeois Funeral Home, Verner on Sunday, June 14th, 2026 from 1pm to 3pm. A funeral service will follow at 3pm. A reception will be held at the Warren Golden Age hall at 40 Rutland Ave, Warren, Ontario after the funeral service.
