Pearl Alvina Belcourt
(née Larocque)
November 15, 1934 - April 15, 2014
Peacefully at the Portage District Hospital on Tuesday, April 15, 2014, our beloved mother, Pearl Belcourt of St. Eustache, Manitoba passed away at the age of 79 years.
Mom leaves behind her wonderful husband Paul, who she was happily married to for 54 years and her dog “Bucky”; her children: Earl (Gloria) Belcourt, Barbara (Tony) Garrioch, Sandra (Wayne) Barnes and Eldon Belcourt; her grandchildren: Fredrick (Dawn) Garrioch, Corry (Caroline) Belcourt, Chrissy Belcourt, Stacey Barnes, Stephen (Katie) Garrioch, Sherene Barnes (Landon) Kauppila, Samantha Barnes and Marie-Anne Garrioch; her great grandchildren: Talia Garrioch, Francis Barnes, Paul Belcourt Jr., Layton Garrioch, Calem Garrioch and Cohen Barnes as well as numerous relatives and friends.
Some of Pearl’s favourite hobbies included: shopping, travelling, fishing, camping, gardening, crafts and family gatherings. She especially loved getting together with family at Easter, Christmas and other special occasions. Mom enjoyed singing and had a beautiful voice. She believed in God and his wonderful gift of angels. She was an angel to her family and valued the importance of faith and religion as she always encouraged us to pray. As a very outgoing person, she always had a joke or two to tell and a smile on her face. She was a compassionate and loving person that led her to being a great caregiver for 45 years. Mom was a pillar of strength and a truly amazing woman.
We’d like to thank Dr. Parker, the ICU nurses and all the medical staff at the Portage Hospital for the wonderful care and support they provided. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Funeral Mass will be held in the St. Eustache Roman Catholic Church on Monday, April 21, 2014 at 2 p.m. with Father John Legitimas officiating.
