and raised in Montreal, she came to St. John’s in the early 50s
with her husband with two small boys and she had two more boys here in
the years that followed. She spoke little English on arrival but that
proved no barrier to her charm, energy and determination. She was a lady
of style, grace, charm, gentle humour, culture and talent, and a true
mistress of the domestic arts. A gracious hostess, she set a table that
was second to none, especially at Christmas. In addition to singing,
drawing and painting, she also knitted, crocheted and sewed like a professional.
Outside the home she was active in the community as a founding and executive
member of the Association Francophone de St. Jean, an executive member
for the Association Francophone de Terre-neuve et du Labrador, and as
a long-time supporter of the St. John's Multi-cultural Association. She
worked to bring people together. She was formally recognized by the province
when she was awarded the Newfoundland and Labrador Volunteer Medal in
November 2001. She will be resting at Carnell's Funeral Home, 329 Freshwater
