ASHLEE FREDETTE June 27, 1991 - February 27, 2013 Courageously and fighting to her last breath, Ashlee lost her battle with cancer on February 27, 2013 with her loving family by her side. She had a smile that could light up a room. A heart that was always worried about everyone else but herself. She leaves a void that can never be filled. She was stubborn and a fighter which could explain how she surpassed all the odds as well as the hurdles that she came across. She could find positive in any situation. She was adventurous and despite the return of the cancer once again, persisted in her dream to become a nurse, living in Barrie, Ontario, undergoing chemo and radiation without her family. Failing health brought her back to us. Ashlee's memory will forever be cherished by her dad and Best Friend Don, Christine (Jessica and Adam), brother Ryan (Louise), many family and dear friends. A celebration of Ashlee's life will be held at 2:00 p.m., Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at Glen Lawn Funeral Home, 455 Lagimodiere Blvd. A private family interment will take place at a later date. Buddy Boy, Always got your back! Family and friends may sign a Book of Condolence at www.glenlawn.ca. Glen Lawn Funeral Home 204-982-7550

Condolences & Memories (31 entries)

  • Ashlee was one very lucky girl to have such a strong and caring father who was always there for her through her life’s journey. She could always count on you, to hold & comfort her, spend days and nights at the hospital so she would not be alone. You were her rock when she needed one and she knew she could always count on you in the good times and in bad. We are lucky to have such fond memories of the time we spent went her. The trips to the states, card nights and family gatherings were always fun. Ashlee will be missed by all of us. Love you - Posted by: Mother, Jim, Gary & Michele (Mother & sister) on: Mar 11, 2013

  • Donny and family. It is such a sad time when someone so young and caring gets taken away from us. It is really unbelievable how strong and brave she could be, dealing with her own illness, but at the same time, helping others deal with theirs. She truly was one of a kind, and she will be remembered in everyone's heart, until we all meet her again. - Posted by: Doug Gratton (Uncle) on: Mar 05, 2013

  • To Donnie, I did not know your dear Ashlee but she totally amazed me with her spirit during her cancer treatments. Her dear Aunty Sue was there for her during her treatments. I know how great a Dad you were and as parents who have lost a child there is nothing worse. A husband who has lost a wife is a widower A wife who has lost a husband is a widow A child who has lost their parents are orphans There are NO WORDS for a parent who has lost a child................. I hope Ashley's memories and inspiration will heal your heart. I am so sorry for your loss. She is now a beautiful angel....nursing in heaven. xo - Posted by: Leo & Shirley Plante (Friend) on: Mar 04, 2013

  • Dear Mr. Fredette and family, I had the privilege of knowing your most beautiful daughter in both her classroom and clinical nursing practice. She is many things but two, for sure, stand out for me: courage and compassion. Ashlee wanted to nurse more than anything in the world-she persevered in her studies attending clinical and offering her deep compassion and infectious spirit even as she was fighting her own battle for life. She never stopped laughing and she never stopped touching our hearts. A short while ago she shared a list of her simple loves with me. I thought you might enjoy them: Family (especially Dad), vanilla ice cream and fruit, the smell of fresh cinnamon buns, being able to fall asleep right away in bed, when someone takes time to smile your way, sunshine streaming through windows, pictures with friends, my little red walker, strawberry cheesecake. I will remember your daughter as a young woman of grace and heart. Sincerely Susan - Posted by: Susan Chapman (Professor, Faculty of Nursing, Georgian College) on: Mar 03, 2013

Our world was a better place while you were with us, and although we will forever miss you, we know now you are at peace, and someday we will meet again and give you the hugs we always wanted to. Deepest love, Uncle Richard, Auntie Cindy and Cousin Melissa XOXOXO - Posted by: Richard, Cindy and Melissa Laventure (Uncle, Aunt and Cousin) on: Mar 02, 2013
