In Loving Memory of Our Mom and Grand-maman
Yvonne Jeanne Élise Dupasquier
With hearts full of love and heavy sadness, our beautiful mother left us after a courageous journey on Friday, September 27, 2013, knowing she was loved and surrounded by love.
Left to forever cherish our Mom’s memory are her son Fernand (Lorraine) Dupasquier; her daughters Annette (Georges) Desrochers and Liliane Pilotte (Richard); and Keith Dupasquier; 17 grandchildren; 36 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. Yvonne was predeceased by her husband Joachim; two sons, Hubert and Louis and one son-in-law Robert Pilotte.
Yvonne Mary was born on February 16, 1917 in Notre Dame de Lourdes, eldest daughter of René Mary and Marie Badiou.
Mom had may hobbies such as shuffleboard, playing cards, bingo, but her greatest passion was knitting. Beauty can be seen on the outside, but her inner beauty was also experienced by those who knew her. She had character, articulated values, depth, integrity, curiosity, a mental toughness and a soft manner. Her smile was a trademark and she lit up whatever space she was in. Above all, she had a great capacity to love. Mom will be remembered for her wonderful character, open mind and being young at heart.
The family expresses sincere thanks to all the staff of the St. Boniface Hospital, Ward 6E for their care and concern throughout her illness. Heartfelt appreciation is extended to her home care workers and her friends from Catherine Place.
