She is survived by her children: Florence Godin (Tony) of Sarnia, Genine Robichaud of Kapuskasing, Louise Trottier (Ron) of Osoyoos, B.C., Diane McCord (Mike) of Sault Ste. Marie and Eugene Lacroix of London; four brothers: Ulric Jr., Sylvère, Maurice and Simon Charpentier; five sisters: Thérèse Credger, Lucille Dubosq, Rita Néron, Mariette Doucet and Hélène Charpentier; as well as 10 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. She will be resting at the Guenette Funeral Home on Wednesday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. The funeral service will be held on Thursday, January 10th at 2:00 p.m. at Nativité-de-Marie Parish in Moonbeam with Father Gilles Gosselin officiating.
