MARIE BEAUDETTE (nee PARENT) le 28 avril, 1906 - le 9 juillet, 2005) Paisiblement, a l'hopital de Ste-Anne, entouree de ses enfants et de ses amies, notre chere Maman nous a quitte a l'age de 99 ans. Elle est maintenant reunie avec ses parents Eugene et Josephine Parent, son mari Georges Beaudette, ses fils Georges-Aime et Roger, sa fille Louise Laporte, ses genres Len Laporte et Aime Normandeau, ainsi que tous ses freres et soeurs. Ceux qui cheriront sa douce memoire sont ses 7 enfants: Edmond (Agnes) de Lac du Bonnet, Remi (Velma) de Brandon, Solange Normandeau de Winnipeg, Jeannette Saurette (Joe) de Winnipeg, Leo de Prince Albert, Gilbert de Vancouver, et Jean-Paul de Kitchener, 32 petits-enfants, 57 arrieres petits-enfants, sa bru Helene Beaudette de Winnipeg, sa belle soeur Gilberte Beaudette-Marqua de la Californie, ainsi que de nombreux neveux et nieces. Mom married Georges Beaudette in 1926. They were blessed with ten children and were fortunate to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary in 1986. Marie worked hard and toiled alongside her husband on the farm in St. Jean Baptiste. She enjoyed gardening, teaching 4H Clubs, knitting, sewing and crafts. Her children and grandchildren have enjoyed her many afghans, quilts, slippers and other handmade projects. She catered weddings for many years and was active in her church and her community. Mom and Dad moved to Villa Youville in St. Anne in 1984. Mom was a keen card player and spent many enjoyable evenings playing cards with her numerous friends both in St. Jean and in St. Anne. She always treasured the many visits from her nephews, nieces and grandchildren. The family would like to thank everyone who has offered our Mother comfort and joy throughout the years. Many thanks to Brunel Girardin and the staff at Villa Youville. Thanks also to those who travelled the last mile with her, especially Soeur Rioux, Soeur Forest, her niece Lillian Wright, and her friend Lucille Fiola. Her final days were very peaceful. Chere Maman, ton depart laisse un grand vide dans nos vies. Nous nous souviendrons toujours de ta generosite, de ton charisme de rassembleuse et de ton accueil chaleureux. Ton sucre a la creme, tes crepes, tes merveilleux repas et tes nombreux appels telephoniques vont nous manquer enormement. Ta presence et ton amour seront toujours vivants dans nos coeurs.
