She is survived by her children Rachel, Armand (Janice), Roland (Cheryl), Rose, and Edouard; 10 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren; siblings Jeanette, Leon, Louis (Jocelyne), Marie, Irma, and Rachel (Andre). <br><br><br><br>Mom loved to have fun, family gatherings, traveling, and listening to and singing along with music. No stranger to hard work, Mom was always happy to be able to help with the family budget, at first working for Eaton's part time, then later for many years with the fish processing plant in Transcona. Mom had many talents, she was an exceptional seamstress, loved decorating and maintaining home and refinishing furniture including three pianos. <br><br><br><br>Mom was vibrant, witty, and always up for a good time. She will be remembered for many things including her excellent tourtière, her sucre à crème and her laugh. The family would like to thank the workers at Chez Nous, staff at St. Boniface Hospital and Desjardins for their care and compassion. <br><br><br><br>Yvette’s Funeral Service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, November 1, 2016 at Desjardins Funeral Chapel, 357 Des Meurons Street, with burial to take place in the afternoon in the Lorette Roman Catholic Cemetery. <br><br><br><br>Donations may be made to the charity of your choice.<br><br></div>
