LUCILLE McCARTHY (nee GERVAIS) January 28, 1929 - October 21, 2001 Peacefully, with family at her side, Maman passed into the arms of the Lord on Sunday, October 21, 2001. Lucille was a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother and sister. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband Frank, her seven children, Gilbert (Ginette) McCarthy, Claire (Jean) Dorge, Estelle (Allan) Dandeneau, Monique (Guy) Lambert, Nicole (Darryl) Nagam, Raymonde (Doug) Shaw, and Joanne (Tim) Vandale; her grandchildren, Christel, Brigitte, Joel, Stephanie, Chantal, Justin, Jeremie, Matthieu, Sylvie, Danick, Sophie and Isabelle; her sisters, Annette, Eva, Yvonne (Gerry), and Pauline (Cyril) her brothers, Adelard, Cyril (Lucienne), Paul (Carol), and Maurice (Emily) her sisters-in-law, Helene and Rose. She was predeceased by her parents, Arthur and Aurore Gervais, her sister Bernadette and her granddaughters, Jenelle and Anita Nagam. Moms happiest moments were with her family - her children, grandchildren. She devoted her life to them. If not with her family, you could find her gardening, sewing or doing household repairs. We will miss her unconditional love, her patience, her quiet but witty demeanour, her soft-spoken voice and her warm smile. Maman, nous remercions le bon Dieu davoir ete beni avec ton amour pour toutes ces annees. Our heartfelt thanks to the support provided by the compassionate staff on Palliative Care at St. Boniface Hospital and to Dr. Moltzen.
