Marguerite will be remembered by Dollard, her husband of 65 years; daughters Jeannine (Jim) Enns, Carole (Victor) Boulet, and sons Rene, and Roger (Kelly) Mailhot; grandchildren Daniel (Lauri), Bryan (Brandy) Enns, and Joelle Enns, Andrea (Charlie) Boulet Smith; Mario, Kyle, Vanessa and Celina Mailhot; Joshua and Nicholas Mailhot; as well as five great grandchildren.

Marguerite now joins her parents, Joseph and Clementine Damphousse; brothers Denis and Jean, brothers-in-law Lionel, Alcide, Paul, Olier, Raymond, Jules and Charles, sisters-in-law Carmelle, Marie-Marthe, Laurette and Fernande. In addition to her participation and strong devotion to the church, Marguerite was quite involved in the Dunrea community through the years, as a 4-H leader, member of St. Felix de Valois Ladies Auxiliary, and secretary of the Dunrea New Horizons Centre. She worked alongside Dollard for over 40 years in the hotel business, preparing many meals and hosting an annual Damphousse Family Christmas for about 15 years. She was an avid gardener, homemaker, and crafter. She spent countless hours sewing, enjoyed needlework of all kinds, especially quilting, which was her favorite. Her family has benefited from this talent, which was passed down by her mother. A celebration of Marguerite’s life was held on Saturday, December 21 at the St. Felix de Valois Catholic Church in Dunrea.
