Mom was raised in St. Boniface and married Germain in 1941. Together they raised 11 children in the farming community, south of La Salle, where Germain had farmed all his life. Mom was a loving, caring and supportive wife, mother, grandmother, mother-in-law and friend. Family was all-important to her. In 2002, she moved to a seniors home in St. Boniface where she enjoyed being close to her roots, later moving to Centre Taché where she was able to join her daughter Cécile. Mom was a very special person and we consider ourselves fortunate that she shared her life with us. We will miss her. A celebration of Mom's life will be held at 11:00 a.m., Thursday, June 19, 2008 at the La Salle Roman Catholic Church in La Salle, MB. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Les Amis de Taché Friends Inc. at 185 rue Despins, Winnipeg, MB R2H 2B3.
