It is with broken hearts we announce the passing of Debbie Tremblay on January 2, 2018 after a lengthy battle with cancer. Debbie was the kindest most generous person you could meet. She loved all animals especially dogs. She saved a special place in her heart for the underdog. She loved to help the less fortunate and did so by traveling all over the world to refugee camps in India, Africa, Thailand and Vietnam, volunteering whatever help she could selflessly at her own expense. Debbie also liked to take real vacations with her husband Roger to sunny places, Thailand and Mexico will hold a special place in their hearts. Debbie's big smile and infectious laugh could light up any room. Debbie leaves behind her loving husband of 34 years Roger, her two beloved children and proudest achievements, son Ryan and daughter Megan, brothers Mike (Tammy) , Danny (Donna) , Richard, Roddy (Nicole) She will be missed by countless friends, but especially her three best friends Tammy, Lisa, Robyn and of course she will be deeply missed by her boys Eddie and Gaius. The kindness shown by so many people shows us just how much she was loved. I wish I could name every one of you. Just know we knew you all and appreciate everything you did to try and ease Debbie's pain, we will never forget you. A huge hole has been ripped in our hearts I know will never heal. I am glad your pain is gone now Deb, you can be at peace. Watch over us and the boys, you know I will take good care of them. I will always love you. Roger, Ryan, Megan.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday January 9, 2018 at St. John's Anglican Church, Schreiber at 11am.

My deepest condolences to my beloved Debbie's family and especially to her cherished Gaius. I 'met' Debbie online when she adopted Gaius from Soi Dog and I wrote up their story for Soi Dog Canada, and she and I stayed in touch my email. I met her in person in my Toronto apt. only once, but she and I were connected heart and soul. I only learned of her passing by taking a chance and Googlng her the other day since I'd heard nothing ... and to say my heart is broken is an understatement. She was truly unique in her humanity and compassion, and those she touched will be blessed by her life and live in the light of that life always. Be at peace, my sweet Debbie, and know always that I love you.

Roger my condolences to you and your family. Also to the Mineau families. Debbie was just a wonderful person always smiling and happy. Was not aware of all the voluntary work but not surprised in least. When I traveled home if I bumped into Debbie she was a little shy but alway made a point of saying hi. Beautiful lady with a great family. She will be missed.

Your optimism was infectious, your soul was genuine and your honesty was refreshing. If I saw you once a week, once a month or once every 10 years ...... we always connected on a level I don't think I'll ever forget. I'm deeply sad and deeply shocked but i feel your spirit always. Rest in Peace Debbie.

Debbie and I were childhood best friends. We spent countless hours together and one of the things I remember vividly was going to visit a dog named Ruff after school. I don't recall who owned him but she loved that dog and the owners saw that the dog loved her as well. She became Ruff's new Guardian and I still have a photo of Debbie and I and Ruff in her yard. We moved away when I was 10 and Deb was 11. And I thought my broken heart would never survive that separation. But over the years and across the miles, we lost touch.
Then we reunited on Facebook and I discovered what an amazing woman she had grown to become. Now, through the agony of another goodbye, I am truly grateful that our paths crossed again and we had the chance to reconnect. She has inspired me so much. I believe that true success in this world has nothing to with our external possessions, academic credentials, or financial status. True success is the epitome of giving back, loving others, and being kind....all of the things Debbie stood for. She was not just my friend, I hope she knew.....she was one of my greatest heros.
Holding a special place in my heart for her families and friends.

So sorry to hear this. I met Deb and Roger on a vacation in Panama in 2012 and can't even imagine that this is where her story is ending, although I am certain that everyone she knew will keep her memory alive. What a beautiful person, that I only knew for a week but I was so touched by her sweet kind heart. RIP... my sincere condolences to Roger and children. God bless you...

Debbie,
You are going to be sadly missed but fondly remembered by those who's soul you touched. I remember growing up with only 2 other girl cousins in a family full of boys all around us. You & I & Rhonda stuck together at Grandpa's place & played together. I always bragged about my cousins & was so excited to have another Debbie in the family!
You're gone too soon Cuz but I know you're now an angel watching over all that still need you.
May you watch over Roger, Megan & Ryan....all of your friends & family.
Love Debbie #2
❤❤❤
