YVETTE MCGIBNEY
(nee DESORCY)
Yvette will be lovingly remembered by her children, Mary Anne, Gary, Jean, Shirley, Dan, Bernice, Heather; their families; brother Gilles (Claire); sister-in-law Jeannette; and numerous nieces, nephews and friends.
Yvette was predeceased by her husband Kenneth; infant son John Joseph; brothers, Jacques, Paul, Henri, Donat, Guillaume; and sister Jeanne.
Yvette had a softness about her, a sense of calm, humility, and genuine kindness, but also an incredible strength. She had a quiet sense of humour, which showed through the twinkle in her eyes and the shrug of her shoulders, especially when you least expected it. Yvette was a woman strong in her faith who always put others first. She cherished her family more than anything, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Yvette loved them all unconditionally, and made a point to have a unique, individual relationship with each of them. She reminded us to be grateful every day, to love life and be happy and to never leave home without Kleenex, scotch mints and lipstick.
Words cannot express how grateful we are to the staff at Calvary Place Personal Care Home who truly made Mom feel she was home for the last five years. Thank you for the compassion and care you gave to the entire family and for treating our mom with dignity and love from day one.
In keeping with her wishes, cremation has taken place and a private family service will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba or Calvary Place Personal Care Home Recreation, 1325 Erin Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3E 3R6.
We love you to eternity Mum. Fais dodo.
Condolences for the family may be left at www.alternacremation.ca.
