LAURETTE PUJO-MOORE
May 12, 1943 - February 9, 2021
Laurie came into the world on May 12, 1943 the third of eight children born to Maurice and Jeannette Pujo. She spent her childhood in Saint-Boniface where, by her own account, she was a bit of a handful.
In time she became a hairdresser then worked as a nurse's aide with special needs children and the elderly. Laurie was a passionate gardener, a self-taught artist and she loved to sing, participating in church and other choirs in Manitoba and Vancouver.
Laurie lived for over twenty years in St. Adolphe, Manitoba with her late husband Thomas Henderson where she was very active in the community and made many friends. In 2007, Laurie fulfilled a lifelong dream by moving to Vancouver where she met Tod Moore whom she married in 2009. With Tod she had many happy years of volunteering, travelling and as she put it "living the life of Riley". Sadly, Tod's health failed in the last years and he passed away in September 2020.
Laurie was predeceased by her parents and her dear brother Donald. Left to mourn her passing are her children: Monique Shorten and her children, Kyle and Tessa; Paul Henderson (Christine) and their sons, Kelsey and Ethan, David Henderson (Angie); and her stepson Stephen. She also leaves behind siblings, Paul Pujo (Mary-Irene), Aline Pujo, Roger Pujo (Edith), Valerie Pujo, Louise Pujo (Tim) Marc Pujo, sister-in-law LaRay Pujo, many nieces and nephews, and her brother-in-law Ron Moore.
We will remember Laurie for her big heart, her easy laugh and her courage.
There will be no service in Vancouver. When we are allowed to gather again, family and friends will be invited to a celebration of Laurie's life to be held in Manitoba.

Our sincere condolences to all the Pujo family. Laurette was this special person with a flamboyant personality. We were often all in trouble when she visited us on the farm in St-Jean-Baptiste to spend a few days. But boy we had fun. It will be an honour for us to attend a special service to be held in Manitoba. Love you all. - Posted by: Denise Perron (cousin) on: Feb 27, 2021

It is with a heavy heart that I learned about Laurie’s passing. Laurie was a big part of our early life. She was our neighbour across the street and my children’s babysitter for many years. My kids loved her. They called her “tante”. She was always so caring, doing crafts, cooking and all types of activities with my children when she babysat. I would like to offer the family my most sincere condolences at this difficult time. - Armand Sylvestre - Posted by: Armand Sylvestre (Neighbour ) on: Feb 27, 2021
