Simone was a very vibrant, energetic, loveable, generous, and faith-filled woman. Her greatest joy was being surrounded by her family. The door to her home was always open to all, and the air was often filled with the sweet smell of food prepared with love (buns, ummmm..., jewel pie, and lots of baking). Many meals came out of her kitchen - even if you arrived at the last minute - there was always enough for one more... She had a zest/spice for life and loved to have a good time (dancing, playing cards - "bring your pennies", bowling, a wee bit of bingo and gambling). Mass of the Resurrection will be celebrated on Friday, February 15 at 10:30 a.m. at the Precieux Sang Church, presided by her nephew, Fr. Paul Campeau. Marcel and his family wish to thank all of the wonderful people from St. Boniface Hospital who provided Simone with tender loving care, especially the team from 6A Medicine and Dr. Kevin Coates.
