RHONDA D.I. LECOUR (nee PATTERSON) Peacefully, with her loving family by her side Rhonda ended her courageous three year battle with lung cancer as she quietly passed away at 4:15 p.m. on Friday, October 15, 1999 in the General Hospital at Ottawa, Ontario. Rhonda leaves to cherish her memory her devoted husband of nine years Larry; her daughters Raija (8), Kayla (6) parents Harvey and Margaret Patterson, in-laws Joe and Lois Lecour; brothers-in-law, aunts, uncles and many cousins in Manitoba, Ontario and Edinburgh, Scotland. Rhonda was born in Winnipeg on March 26, 1956 and attended Rockwood and Grant Park schools. She was an expert swimmer and served as a life-guard and instructor at city pools, also, participated in synchronized swimming. Rhonda travelled Canada, U.S.A. and Mexico before settling down to employment as a radar operator on the D.E.W. line in Canadas far north. Rhonda and Larry were married in Hawaii on February 14, 1990 and lived on Barber Boulevard in Winnipeg until Larry was transferred to Ottawa in 1993. They purchased a lovely home in Orleans in the eastern section of Ottawa. Rhondas life in Orleans centred around her family, especially her two charming daughters, her garden of flowers and her toy poodle Alex. Rhonda chose cremation with the remains interred at Bales Cemetery in Cumberland, Ont. A Memorial service was held on Monday, October 18 at 2:00 p.m. in the United Church of Orleans, Ontario. Should friends so desire, donations in Rhondas memory to the Canadian Cancer Society will be greatly appreciated.
