Gisele was a long time member of MIFDA, Manitoba International Folk Dance Association, a recreational dance group that still meets once a week to learn and have fun doing dances from around the world. Gisele was an excellent teacher and dancer who taught us many great dances over the years. We all appreciated her keen wit, sense of humour, articulate instructions, wide range of skills and knowledge of the dances. She will be sadly missed by everyone at MIFDA.

Gisèle was always so kind and had shared her rich sense of humour in her quiet way. I clogged with her for many years and was always amazed at her ability to pick up even the most difficult steps. She will be missed very much by her various dance groups. Condolences to her family. - Posted by: Heather Mahon (Friend from clogging) on: Dec 01, 2025
