It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Laurie Fournier (nee Gamache)
on October 14 at the age of 81.
Laurie was pre-deceased by her husband Jean-Yves and was a loving and devoted mother to Nicole and Patrick.
Known as mommy to her daughter-in-law Ulanda and grandma to 3 grandchildren she adored ,Shane, Madison and Faith. A farm girl born in Fort Kent, Alberta, Laurie was one of 12 sisters and 2 brothers. She moved to Montreal in the mid 60’s and on return trip from Alberta, by train, she caught the eye of her future husband, marrying him on Dec 27 1969. Our mom was gentle , funny and quick witted; loved classic rock, Johnny Cash and Elvis and would go to the Montreal Jazz Fest every year. Even at 81, Laurie was still very active and had more energy than people half her age. A rare form of cancer quickly took her life, but it did not take the memories and happiness she brought to our lives.
A memorial service in her honour will be held at a later date.
