Elle fut precedee dans la mort par son cher epoux Marcel Fenez; ses parents, Emerence Leblanc (nee Lussier) et Bert Leblanc; et ses freres, Lionel, Donald, Gerald, Claude; et sa soeur Helene. Maman etait connue pour sa voix exceptionnelle qu'on pouvait entendre dans les chorales, aux noces, aux rencontres amicales et partout dans la maison. Elle connaissait toutes les paroles et l'air d'une multitude de chansons et ne se genait jamais d'utiliser ses talents. Elle etait passionnee par la vie et sa joie et sa personnalite charismatique se repandait autour d'elle. Elle pensait toujours au bien etre des autres et ne refusa a personne de son temps ni de son energie abondante. Sa foi chretienne lui a toujours soutenue dans les peines et les bonheurs dans sa vie. Chaque jour etait dediee au Seigneur. Fine cuisiniere, jardiniere exemplaire, fabriquant de vin et de la biere, avide lectrice, aventuriste avec un merveilleux sens d'humour, Corinne debordait d'esprit et d'enthousiasme. Initiee tot dans la vie au travail comme fille ainee d'une grande famille, elle ne manqua jamais de boulot. Parmi ses occupations nous pouvons compter: caissiere aux magasins, agent d'immeuble, coordinatrice des Guides Catholiques du Manitoba, coordinatrice des Aines Franco-Manitobains et plusieurs services comme benevole (cheftaine des Guides, Developpement et Paix...) et elle appuya aussi financierement beaucoup d'oeuvres de charite.

CORINNE LEBLANC-FENEZ 1931 - 2005 Peacefully from the loving arms of her daughter on March 27, 2005, on the day of the resurrection of Christ and the birthday of her daughter, the Lord called his faithful servant Corinne, at the age of 73 years to be with him in heaven. She leaves to mourn her children, Fr. Ronald Hochman, C.S.V., Thomas Hochman, Jo-Anne Hochman (Ken), David Hochman (Janet); and her five precious grandchildren, Ray-Al, Julien, Mario, Justin and Julie. She also leaves her five brothers, Robert, Noel (Beverley), Roger, Richard and Andre (Jocelyn) and her aunt Juliette Normandeau as well as nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her loving husband Marcel Fenez; her parents Emerence Leblanc (nee Lussier) and Bert Leblanc; and her brothers, Lionel, Donald, Gerald, Claude; and her sister Helene. Mom was known for her wonderful voice which could be heard in choirs, weddings, gatherings and all around the house. She knew the words and melodies of many songs and would sing often. She had a passion for life and joyfully shared her charismatic personality with all whom she met. She always thought foremost of others and their well-being and was always generous of herself with boundless energy. Her Christian faith inspired her in the good and bad times of life. She dedicated each day to the Lord. She was an excellent cook, had a green thumb in the garden and loved flowers. She made wine and beer, read avidly, loved adventure and graced us with her wonderful sense of humour. She possessed a great spirit and did all with endless enthusiasm. Being the eldest girl of a large family she was not foreign to hard work. She worked at different jobs during her life as well as being a home-maker: store clerk, real estate agent, coordinator for The Catholic Girl Guides of Manitoba, the Association of Francophone Seniors and was a volunteer for many organizations (Girl Guides, Development and Peace...). She was extremely generous in financial support of numerous charities. Farewell dear Mother. You have well deserved your rest. We are grateful for your life and the heritage of faith and love you have bequeathed us. The family offers heartfelt thanks to members of the staff of Vista Park Lodge for their care and compassion towards Mom. Thank you to all who visited her during her illness and gave spiritual comfort. The Mass of the Resurrection will be celebrated on Friday, April 1 at Precieux-Sang Church, 200 Kenny St. in St. Boniface. Burial will take place immediately after the service and a reception will follow. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to CancerCareManitoba or to a charity of one's choice.
