Shortly after she met the love of her life and married Rene Bourrier in 1964. They eventually settled in Windsor Park where together they raised their son, Rheal and daughter Linda. Estelle's true passion was nurturing and caring for people. While raising her family, she operated a daycare out of her home, where she touched the hearts of all the children in her care. Estelle was always known for her warm hospitality and generosity to family and friends. She had an enormous amount of determination, courage and faith which sustained her throughout many trials. Estelle always put her husband and children first providing them with a solid foundation of love and the importance of family. She will be lovingly remembered by those who knew her, as a woman with inner strength, deeply devoted to those she loved, and above all a selfless and caring woman who was an inspiration to us all.
