She is predeceased by her eldest daughter Armelle Dunn; granddaughter Deanna Thomas; sisters, Therese Laplume and Marie Gratton, brothers, Antoine, Frank, Augustin and Joe Mahe and her parents, Francois and Isabel Mahe. Our mother was born in Wauchope, Sask. on May 23, 1914. She married Marcel in 1938 at the age of 24 and raised a family of six. In her mid 40s, she started a career as a licensed practical nurse. She worked hard at her profession until her retirement at age 65. In the course of her 85 and one half years she met with her share of adversity and also great joy. She raised six children to maturity who then provided her with a multitude of grand and great-grandchildren who were to her a course of pleasure and pride. Thankfully hers was a full and satisfying life. Guitte, Mom, Grandma, we love you and we miss you. We would like to express our gratitude to the staff at Foyer Valade for the excellent care they provided for our mother. Special thanks to Mimi Kehler, Rachelle Lemoine and Carmelle Labelle.
