From a very young age, Mom learned the value of hard work.  In 1929, she married Albert with whom she shared 68 years of her life.  Mom was a caring, generous person and very involved in her community.  In Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes, she worked as an assistant postmaster, organized many fowl suppers, belonged to the Daughters of Isabella and les "Dames de Ste Anne".  She was totally devoted to her family and took great pride in family gatherings.

The family wishes to thank the nursing and support staff at Foyer Valade for the warm compassionate care given to our mother over the last 6 1/2 years. Mom especially enjoyed having her granddaughter, Jan, care for her at the nursing home.
