ADELINE FILLION Saturday, May 7, 2016, at the Repos Jolys in St. Pierre Jolys, Adéline left us suddenly and peacefully at the age of 91 years. Adéline is survived by her spouse Marcel, her children Denis Fillion (Réjane), Gisèle Sabourin (Donald), Janine Wiebe (Neil), Michel Fillion (Rick), Adéline Selwood (Rick). Adéline leaves behind her 21 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. She is also leaving two sisters, Léola Parent, and Célima Bruneau (Georges) who will miss her, as well as many brothers and sisters-in-law. She was predeceased by two sons, Jacques (1971) and Gérard (2011), a grandson Dominic (1977), her father Hermas Grégoire, her mother Alphonsine Barnabé, one sister Berthe Goertzen, and a brother Alphonse Grégoire. Her passion was painting. She has left us many beautiful paintings. Even in the last weeks we could easily find her colouring either with crayons, pastels and the like. As she was no long able to paint, colouring became her next passion. The hallways of the personal care home in Emerson were full of her artwork. The family are very thankful to the personnel of the Chalet Malouin of St. Malo, Emerson Personal Care Home, and Repos Jolys for the excellent care and friendships provided to our Adéline over the years. You have truly contributed to enrich her quality of life. Prayers will be held on Friday, May 13, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. at the Saint Joseph Catholic Church. The funeral service will be held on Saturday, May 14, 2016 also at the Saint Joseph Catholic Church, presided by Father Lutumba. Prayers, music, and tribute will start at 1:30 p.m., followed by the funeral mass at 2:00 p.m. Interment will take place in the Saint Joseph parish cemetery. Donations can be made to The Lupus Society of Manitoba, 105-386 Broadway Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3X 1G2 in her memory. Wiebe Funeral Home Altona In care of arrangements www.wiebefhaltona.com
