She also leaves behind her younger brother René and nephews in France. Born in Brittany, she met and married François in Paris before immigrating to Victoria in 1956 along with their 2 eldest daughters. Françoise was a very talented woman. She was an accomplished seamstress, cook, knitter and photographer. Later in life, after staying home to raise her children, she went out into the community to work as a caregiver. She excelled at this job as she found great joy in helping others. Special thanks go to the Cridge Senior Centre and Oak Bay Lodge for the dedicated and compassionate care provided in the final years of her life.
