She will be greatly missed by her siblings Lianne (Ron) of Kelowna, BC, Rachel of Lac-des-Iles, Quebec, Philip of Cardinal Ontario, Maurice of Gatineau, and Francine (Roger) of Gatineau. She will also be missed by her wonderful aunts SR Rachelle Lablanc of Ottawa, Eleonore (Roland) of Northbay and Doreen (Gaetan) of Pembroke plus many nieces, nephews, and cousins. A private family service will be held at a later date. Memorial donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated.
