elevated RDzhD Obituary
Madeleine passed away on May 16 at her retirement home in Toronto. She lived for many years with advanced dementia, and in the end slipped away peacefully in her sleep. Through her illness, she continued to laugh and smile and was well-loved within her retirement community.

elevated RDzhD Born on her family’s farm outside Trois-Pistoles, Madeleine left rural Quebec as a young woman to find work and learn English in Toronto. There she met and married her husband, Vince. Every summer, Madeleine, Vince, and their children, Daniel and Mark, went back to her childhood home, in the Bas-St-Laurent, where Madeleine loved to laugh, sing, and dance with her ten brothers and sisters and their families.

elevated RDzhD Madeleine and Vince committed to travelling as much as possible in their retirement years, cruising around virtually every corner of the world for as long as they were able. Madeleine lived well and made the most of her 90+ years.

elevated RDzhD She was a beloved grandmaman to our kids, Théo and Camille. We’ll all miss her sparkle and her laughter.
