Fernande brought so much love, light, and care into so many lives. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. Fernande spent most of her life living in Winnipeg but for the last 10 years of her life lived with her daughter Dorothy (Blake) in Abbotsford, BC. She continued her passion for gardening and pastime of playing 31 with her family. Fernande will be remembered by all those whom she touched. She will also be remembered for her resilient but kind spirit. She was a rare gem, a precious soul and one of a kind. She will live in our hearts forever.
