After Henri passed away, Solange later married Pierre Mineault in 1983. In her younger days, Solange volunteered for many community and church events, always helping with local bazaars, fall suppers and picnics. She enjoyed traveling. Weekend family gatherings were very important to her, especially when they ended with games of cards or dominoes. She loved nothing more than to watch her family grow, showering them with crocheted afghans, car blankets, crib and baby blankets.
