Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryLISE GINETTE LACOMBE 26 octobre 1946 - 18 mars 2014 Après une courte et très difficile bataille contre le cancer, c'est avec une grande tristesse que notre tendre et bien-aimée Lise Ginette Lacombe est décédée paisiblement à la maison entourée de son époux et de ses deux soeurs, mardi matin le 18 mars 2014 à l'âge de 67 ans. Elle était la fille de feue Aurore Vallée et de feu Alcide Lacombe. Elle laisse dans le deuil son époux Patrick Slevin, ses soeurs: Pierrette (Yvon J. Picard), Edith (Maurice Paquin); ses neveux et nièces: Christine, David, Judith Picard, Marc-André Paquin, et tous ceux de la famille Slevin, ses cousins et cousines, son oncle Jacques (Mariette Guillemette) ainsi que de nombreux et fidèles amis. Lise était une femme qui a touché plusieurs personnes par ses connaissances, ses gestes personnels et ses attentions particulières. Elle est née à Shawinigan, QC. A débuté sa carrière dans cette ville et ensuite déménagée à Ottawa. En 1985, ayant rencontré Patrick, elle est venue vivre à Winnipeg. Lise fut coordonnatrice des services en langue française au Ministère provincial de la santé jusqu'à sa retraite en 2002. Lise et Patrick ont bien profité de leur retraite ensemble. Ils ont visité souvent le Canada et les Etats-Unis d'un océan à l'autre avec leurs équipes de slow-pitch. En 2008, ils ont effectué une mémorable croisière autour du monde et ont passé les 5 derniers hivers en Arizona. Nos sincères remerciements au personnel et aux aidants pour les soins attentifs que Lise a reçus au GD-4 du Health Centre ainsi que de l'équipe des soins palliatifs à la maison. Pour respecter sa volonté, Lise sera incinérée et sans funérailles. Au lieu d'envoyer des fleurs, Lise aimerait que vous embrassiez un être cher. Wojcik's Winnipeg Funeral Chapel & Crematorium, 2157 Portage Ave., 204-897-4665, is in care of arrangements. wojciksfuneralchapel.com LISE GINETTE LACOMBE October 26, 1946 - March 18, 2014 After a brief battle with cancer, it is with deep sadness that we announce that dearly beloved Lise Ginette Lacombe passed away at home on Tuesday morning March 18, 2014 at the age of 67, comforted by her husband and two sisters. Left to cherish Lise's memory are her husband Patrick Slevin; sisters Pierette (Yvon Picard) and Edith (Maurice Paquin); many nieces; nephews; cousins and many dear friends. She was predeceased by her mother Aurore and her father Alcide. Lise was a special lady who touched so many lives. She began her career in her hometown Shawinigan, QC, later moving to Ottawa where by miracle she met Patrick and moved to Winnipeg in 1984. Lise was the French language coordinator for the provincial department of health until her retirement in 2002. Together, Lise and Patrick enjoyed their retirements. They travelled throughout Canada and the United States often with slo-pitch teams. The highlight of their travels was a cruise around the world in 2008. Lise also cherished being at her home and spending the winters in Arizona. In compliance with Lise's wishes, no Funeral Service will be held. A special thank you to the fantastic staff and caregivers for the loving care Lise received both at GD-4 at HSC and the palliative home care. In lieu of flowers, please hug someone you love.

I was so sorry to hear of Lise’s death. I worked with her in the late 80s at Mr. Desjardins’ office. She was one of the nicest & classiest people I’ve had the privilege of working with. Lise était efficace, compétente, intelligente et d’une gentillesse sans pareil. My sincere sympathies to Patrick and to all her family. - Posted by: Suzanne Nolette (Former Colleague) on: Mar 25, 2014

What a beautiful photograph. Lise will be sadly missed but her memory cherished. We all shared her passion for traveling the world. And though we cannot be there, we are celebrating Lise's capacity for love and living life to its fullest. The words of Serge Gainsbourg express what we saw in Lise: La vie ne vaut d'etre vecue sans amour. Life is not worth living without love. Lise's life was full of love and she shared it with all of us through her warmth and kindness. - Posted by: The Delichte Family () on: Mar 23, 2014
