She was predeceased by eight brothers and sisters, Gerard Bergevin, Lena Courtemanche, Maurice Bergevin, Germaine Girard, Lucille Lapierre, Donald Bergevin, Lillian Boisvert and Lorraine Stewart.

Earl, Gail,and Family,
Our hearts are so sad at the death of this wonderful woman. She was the "grandmother" and "mother" next door that we were so blessed to have in our lives. There is a void in the neighborhood that can never be replaced. We have wonderful memories that we will forever carry in our hearts. Love to you all.
Cheryl & Scott McDonald.
