Mom was born in St. Claude on February 23, 1918 and raised on the farm. She married Harry Green of Roseisle on November 9, 1946 and they lived on the family farm north of Roseisle. Mom worked hard doing chores outside, making meals, preserves, sewing our clothes and bringing us to church on Sundays. Mom and Dad retired to St. Claude in 1983. Dad passed away in 1987. Mom enjoyed having her family close by. Her grandchildren were all special to her and she spent many hours playing with them and spoiling them. She had a warm and generous heart and all were welcome in her home to share in her special Rice Krispie cake and hospitality.

Special thank-you to all the staff at the St. Claude Health Centre and Sister Cècile Aimé.

My life has passed

I loved you all to the very last

Weep not for me, but courage take

Love each other, for my sake

For those you love don’t go away

They walk beside you every day

Mom, grandma we love you forever
