April 21 1931 - December 30 2024
Annette married her sweetheart, Marcel in 1955. Together, they raised four children and enjoyed a life full of adventure and love. With friends, they travelled to several countries and enjoyed spending winters in Panama City Beach, Florida. Annette was a talented knitter and baker. We will especially miss her delicious butter tarts, fudge and her singing.
She is survived by her husband Marcel; her children André (Tania), Marc (Diane), Michelle (Art) and Denis; her grandchildren Nicholas (Belen), Jesmond (Samantha), Nathan, Alexa (Brianna), Kaemon and Zacharie; her great grand-daughter Remi and two baby girls on the way.
Annette is predeceased by her parents Edgar and Mina Girard as well as her brothers Maurice and Gilles, sisters-in-law Rita, Yolande and several close friends.
We would like to especially thank the personnel of Water’s Edge for their kindness and compassionate care as well as Hillside Funeral Home for their professional and caring support.
A celebration of life will be held at a future date. In lieu of flowers, the family request that donations be made to the Alzheimer’s Society and the Nipissing Serenity Hospice.
Annette’s kind spirit, zest of life and wonderful sense of humor touched the lives of many. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Online condolences can be done at www.hillsidefuneral.ca
