Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryLUCILLE BLANCHE BELANGER Peacefully, in her sleep, Lucille (Blanche) Bélanger passed away on July 14, 2015, at St. Boniface General Hospital. Lucille was predeceased by her father and mother Charles and Blanche, brothers Pierre, Fernand, Gerry, lost contact with Claude, sisters Carmelle and Louise, and finally by her beloved husband Bernard (Albert). She will be lovingly missed by her sons and daughters-in-law Pierre (Marie) and Michel (Karen), her grandsons Sasha and Gabriel, and her sister Claudette (Mineault). Lucille was born on February 16, 1926 in St. Boniface, MB. She was a girl of much imagination and of many interests, enjoying poetry, creative writing and art, and becoming an avid bowler with her future husband, Bernard in her young-adult days. Over the years, as well as being a great mother, she fully enjoyed professional adventures with St. Boniface Hospital, Bird Construction, and Taché Centre. Faithful, romantic, and sensitive, Lucille was a loving daughter, wife, mother, and grandmother. She had a great sense of humour and empathy, able to laugh as well as lend a caring ear and offer encouragement to family, friends, and acquaintances. The family extends their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Ball and his staff on E4 at St. Boniface Hospital, who all showed exceptional kindness to Lucille during the final chapter of her life. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made, in memory of Lucille, to Power to Change (online), or at 20385 64 Avenue, Langley, BC V2Y 1N5. The family will host a celebration of her life on Saturday, July 25 at 2:00 p.m. at Wheeler Funeral Home, 1800 Day St., 204-224-1525.

I looked after Lucille while she was on 4E at St Boniface Hospital. She was a very special lady and was a pleasure to care for. I loved her colouring pages and I kept trying to encourage her to let me put them up on the wall for everyone to enjoy, but she was too modest! I will never forget her bright spirit and warm smile. I was unable to attend the funeral today but wanted to offer my sincerest condolences to the family. She will be deeply missed. - Posted by: Samantha Brown (Nurse) on: Jul 25, 2015

My father Fernand (Fern, Feen) was especially proud of his 2nd sister, who was apparently smart, kind, and good at absolutely everything. I remember, mostly through pictures and some movies Dad took, earlier Lanthier gatherings at the family home on Aulneau St., as well as visiting the Belanger home in Transcona. Unfortunately, after Dad died, there didn't seem to be any more large family gatherings...and we lost touch for many decades. Matante Lucille was very interested in the family tree, and after researching it for years, finally shared it with my mom Tina. I will forever be greatful for that, as it is also a great interest of mine! - Posted by: Diane Buisse (née Lanthier) (Niece) on: Jul 20, 2015

To Pierre and Michel as well as your families I offer you my condolences. Lucile was my auntie, as well as my godmother. My father, her closest brother had a wonderful relationship with his sister and spoke fondly of her. She seemed to me in many ways the female version of my dad, and for that reason I had much respect for her. In my youth, Lucile and Barny would not let my birthday go by without a visit and always encouraging words for a growing little boy. She was very inquisitive of how I was doing and always encouraged my interests. Auntie I thank you for all the support and encouragement you gave me, resulting in part who I am today. I know my father is welcoming you with open arms in that special place where you will now rest. Love René - Posted by: René Lanthier (nephew ) on: Jul 19, 2015
