Obituary of Wilhelmina Maria Lafrance

On Sunday December 8, 2013 after a valiant struggle, my beloved wife of 40 years passed away peacefully at Groves Park Lodge, Renfrew. Wilhelmina age 69, beloved wife of Jasper Lafrance. Dear sister of Elly Gallant (Marc), Jane Hachey (Clifford), Gerald (Gemma), Hans (Betty), Peter (Leda). Wilhelmina was born on the 11th of September 1944 in Amersfoort Netherlands. Her working life took her from Bathurst N.B, to Moncton NB, Goose Bay Labrador, Frobisher NWT, Inuvik NWT and Ottawa, ON. In addition to her own travels, she also accompanied me to many other NWT locations along with northern Quebec, Greenland and Iceland. In her retirement years in Renfrew, she was involved with the Renfrew Curling Club and the Ottawa Valley Music Festival. Willy and I had a very good 40 years together and I must hang on to that thought as I get through this challenge.
