BLANCHE DESROCHERS Née à Mariapolis le 27 février 1918, elle est décédée le 31 décembre 2015 à Winnipeg. Mariée à son époux Henri (ti-ri' Desrochers) le 9 novembre 1938, ils eurent 5 enfants et 15 petits-enfants: Thelma* (Fred Fix) - Debbie, Darryl, Darcy; Laurent* (Lucille St-Onge) - Emile, Jeff, Michael, Kevin; Rose (Gilbert Emond) - Joëlle, Jean-Marc; Hélène (Roger Saurette) - Daniel, Patrick, Alain; Norman* (Suzanne Johnson) - Kevin, Christopher, Janelle. Laissez dans le deuil sont ses frères et soeurs : André (Jeanne), Antonin (Fernande) et Liliane (Aimé Boulet) Desrochers et 19 arrières petits-enfants. Blanche rejoint son époux, ses trois enfants (Thelma, Laurent, Norman), parents Alphonse et Nora (Chalifoux) et frères et soeurs : Henri (Régina), Annette (Albani), Maurice (Gracia), Germain (Alice) et Roméo (Ina). Following 97 years well lived, maman's final lottery numbers were called amidst New Year's fireworks and beloved memories: a childhood on the farm at Mariapolis, family homes on rue Hébert and rue Bétournay, her love of the great outdoors and many years of career service at l'Hôpital Saint-Boniface. Her friends and family will forever remember her love of dancing, playing 500 (cinq cents), rummy, bingo, family vacations and her short gambling trips by bus, as well as her favoured recipes including homemade bread, pies and caramels. Blanche was a woman of steadfast faith, leaving behind a well worn rosary and weekly attendance at church. Nous aimerions remercier les membres du personnel de la Résidence Despins et du Foyer Valade pour leurs soins et surtout les visites de la famille et amies. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Canadian Cancer Society. A funeral service in memory of Blanche's life will be held at 2:00 p.m., January 8, 2016 at Glen Lawn Memorial Gardens in Winnipeg, 455 Lagimodière Blvd. Nous ne t'oublierons jamais chère maman. Repose-toi bien. Family and friends may sign a Book of Condolence at www.glenlawn.ca Glen Lawn Funeral Home 204-982-7550
