Mom was born in St. Boniface on March 7th, 1924. She spent the majority of her childhood in Ross, MB, where she met the love of her life, Alfred Gauthier of 47 years. They settled in Ross where they raised their family.
Mom loved baseball and supported her children and grandchildren, following them to whatever games and tournaments they were playing in. She enjoyed knitting mitts, tuques, scarves, etc., donating many of these items to Cancer Care. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren will forever cherish their handmade blankets, sweaters and christening gowns from Memere.
There will be a private service to celebrate her life.
The family wishes to thank the staff of Villa Youville in Ste. Anne, MB for the exceptional care given to mom. A very special thank you to mom’s friend, and ours, Sister Irene Rioux for her loving care and spiritual support.
