Tess TREPANIER

TREPANIER, "Tess" Passed away July 31, 2016 after a long struggle with Lung Disease. Survived by her loving husband Ron of 60 years, children Gary (Linda), Lorene (Trevor), Janice (Kerry), Dave (Katherine), Geoff (Colleen), grandchildren DJ, Sherie, Amy, Ben, Anna, Julie, Maggie, Owen, Olivia and Chloe and three great-grandchildren. Tess was born on January 3, 1935 in Edmonton, Alberta. She was the 4th child of James Gordon Fleming and Bridget Ellen Fleming. Sadly, all four of Tess's siblings predeceased her early in their lives. In January 1956 Tess married Ron in Edmonton. Children followed and she quickly became a devoted mother making a wonderful warm home often with limited resources. She faithfully followed her husband Ron pursuing his career across the country raising their children in several locations. Tess was always active in her Church with multiple volunteer initiatives. She had many friends, some lifelong. We will miss her dearly. Funeral Mass will take place on Saturday, August 6, 2016 at 11:00 am at Sacred Heart Church, 3900 Arthur Drive, Ladner, BC with a reception to follow.
