Suzanne Hélène Tremblay

Following a very brief illness, we announce the peaceful passing of Suzanne while resting in the arms of her daughter on Oct 25 at Foyer Notre Dame de Lourdes at the age of 99.

Suzanne will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed by her children: Roger, Laurent (Sharen), Liliane (Denis Loiselle); grandchildren André Loiselle (Irene), Janine Loiselle (Daniel Bosc); great-grandchildren Isabelle & Benoît Bosc; along with special nieces and nephews. Suzanne was predeceased by her husband Joseph in 2000; her mother Marie Mary (née Badiou) and father René Mary; her in-laws Mélina (née Lesage) and Euclide Tremblay; her older sisters Yvonne Dupasquier, Germaine Dupasquier and Blanche Roch.

Suzanne was born on October 19, 1924 in Notre Dame de Lourdes, MB and farmed for many years. Forced to leave school at 14, and being the youngest of 4 girls, she farmed with her parents for 10 years then farmed alongside her husband for another 20 years. At 43, she worked for the St. Boniface Hospital as the flower attendant for 20 years, delivering bouquets of happiness to patients. After a well-deserved retirement, Suzanne and Jos spent many summers in their small camper fishing around the province accompanied by their two grandchildren.

One of Suzanne’s favourite activities was playing cards with friends and family. She even beat us at Cribbage as recently as one week before her passing. Suzanne had a special love for her family leaving us with cherished memories of one great lady.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Green Acres Funeral Home on Thursday, November 2 at 10:00 a.m. The interment will follow in Green Acres Cemetery.

The family is extremely grateful for the excellent care she received at the Foyer the last three months. She had a great summer back in her home town. Special thanks to Dr. Desmond Van Jaarsveldt and his staff for their devoted care of Suzanne for over two decades.
