MARIE-LOUISE BOILY (nee DECELLES) Peacefully surrounded by love, and with family at her side, Marie-Louise passed away on Tuesday, March 27, 2012 at Villa Youville at the age of 94. She is survived by her children Solange (Gérard) Bissonnette, Antoinette (Jean Paul) Bissonnette, Benoît (Jeanne Faucher), Daniel (Tannis Bowman), Gilbert, Marthe (Roger) Stupack, Fernand (Dianne Courcelles), Lorraine (Alan Stevenson), Claire (Adrien Grenier), Rolande (Aurèle Durand), son-in-law Fernand Gauthier, 48 grandchildren, 57 great-grandchildren, one sister Olive Decelles, and one sister-in-law, Fabiana Boily. She was predeceased by two daughters, Simone Fiola and Alice Gauthier; two sons-in-law, Aimé Fiola and Adrien Hudon, and one granddaughter, Jocelyne Grenier. Maman was born in Ste. Marthe, SK on August 23, 1917 to Zacharie and Anna (Chartier) Decelles. On October 22, 1940, she married Camille Boily. They farmed in La Broquerie and together they shared 59 wonderful years. Maman was totally devoted to her family. She was always ready to support, encourage and advise, giving freely and asking for nothing in return. She was an example of courage, hard work, strength and loyalty in her role as wife, mother and grandmother. She was a true inspiration to everyone around her. Through her unwavering faith and determination, she taught us the value of prayer. Maman rejoiced in welcoming family and friends to our home. Family gatherings were enhanced not only by her home cooked meals, fresh bread and preserves, but more so by her joie de vivre and sense of humour. Elle était une femme toute simple, sans prétention, qui faisait tout avec rien pour pourvoir aux besoins de sa famille. Maman est partie comme elle a vécu, tout doucement, sans déranger personne. The family would like to thank the personnel at Villa Youville for the excellent care given to Maman over the past five years. Prayers will take place at 1:30 p.m., followed by Mass of Resurrection at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 31, 2012 at St. Joachim Roman Catholic Church in La Broquerie, with Father Camille Becho Doh presiding. Interment will follow immediately in the parish cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to CancerCare Manitoba, Neck and Throat Cancer Education, Room ON1160, 675 McDermot Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3E 0V9. Quels merveilleux souvenirs nous gardons de vous qui avez été une mère, une grand-mère et une arrière-grand-mère exemplaire! Veuillez sur nous chère Maman. Adieu.
