She is lovingly remembered by her children, Diane (Claude), Cécile, Anita (Ben), Rae (Tom) and Philippe (Barb); her grandchildren, Michel (Tracy), Melanie, Justin (Marta), Megan (Rob) and Samantha; and her great-grandchildren, Fisher, Lakelyn, Dominik, Damien and Anahi.

She enjoyed knitting, playing cards and dominoes and spent many hours watching sports on TV, especially her curling and her beloved Blue Jays. In the last years, her declining health due to her MS left her in the good hands of all those special individuals at Actionmarguerite (St. Boniface) who were there to see to her comfort and care and who made her laugh. A very special thank you to Monique McGurry who first greeted her and continued to care for her these last 10 years. Mass of the Resurrection will be held at the St. Hyacinthe Catholic Church in La Salle, on Friday, January 26 at 10:30 a.m. A eulogy will be read at 10:15 a.m. Msgr.

Growing up in La Salle our parents were very good friends with Mme Florence and M. Gab. The dads used to curl together and I especially remember Mom and Mme Florence judging costumes at the Ladies' bonspiels. Our sincere sympathies go out to the Simard family, your mom was a lovely lady. May your wonderful memories of her sustain you in your time of grief. - Posted by: Colette (Vouriot) Carriere (family friend) on: Jan 26, 2018

My condolences extend to all of Aunt Florence's family and friends. There are many good memories of times spent in Aunt Florence and Uncle Gabe's home that was always full of laughter, good food, and friendship. Auntie Florence was a big part of making that happen. May she truly rest in peace. Her nephew, Ron Cherlet - Posted by: Ron Cherlet (Nephew) on: Jan 25, 2018
