Marie-Léa was a loving and caring spouse, mother, grand-mother and friend to all whom she encountered.

Being of curious nature, she took interest and cared for, all the people that she met through her 75 years. She loved to preserve al her precious memories and travels with her family and friends through photo albums and videos. She traveled with Donald to many parts of the world but her most memorable journey was to China in 2004. She was a member of the Club d'âge d'or and les Dames de Ste-Anne. Her lifetime passion was music. As the organist in her parish for over 25 years, she also coordinated music for the choir in her parish.

She was a homemaker all her life and in the seventies, she accompanied Donald to "La Gaspésie" where they spent the last 18 years of their working career. She loved the shore, the sounds of the waves, the rocks of the Gaspesian shore and her friends over there. Through her strong personality, her courage and infinite love of others, Marie-Léa will live on forever in our hearts.
