MARIE-ANGE CLAIRE JALBERT 1907 - 2005 On October 13, 2005, Marie-Ange Jalbert, aged 97, passed peacefully into the arms of the angels at the Tache Centre. Daughter of the late Octave Jalbert and Amanda DeChamplain, Marie-Ange was born on December 24, 1907 in Fort Frances, ON the eighth in a family of 11. Her early education was in Fort Frances, followed by high school in St. Boniface, graduating from l'Academie St. Joseph in 1928. She spent a year in a Carmelite community. Marie-Ange was the caregiver of her aging parents for many years. After the death of her father, she and her sister Therese left for Ottawa, to be employed in clerical work.
