Clotilde lived through many hardships but faced them with courage. She loved life and lived it to its fullest. Family and friends were a great part of her life as she enjoyed music, singing and dancing. Memère était une femme tendre, sensible et de grande foi. Au large , elle était fermière sans-pareille, jardinière extraordinaire, chanteuse, danseuse, raconteuse d' histoires, une dame parfumée et une madame aux beaux chapeaux. Chez grandmère, les fêtes et la joie de vivre règnaient. Rien de meilleur que ses tartes au citron et son sucre à la crème! Elle nous quitte en nous laissant de bons souvenirs, de grandes valeurs et une belle famille. The family would like to express sincere thanks to the angels on 3DE Taché Centre for all the care and compassion extended to our mother's 11 year stay. It will never be forgotten. A farewell mass will be celebrated on Tuesday, August 12, 2008 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Boniface Cathedral, Father Léonce Aubin presiding. Pallbearers will be her six godchildren. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to Taché Centre. See you in the movies, Memère! Desjardins 233-4949 1-888-233-4949
