Date of Passing: Feb 06, 2014
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryGEORGETTE ROQUE (nee DESMARAIS) 1940 - 2014 It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Georgette at Ste. Annes Hospital on February 6, 2014 at the age of 73. She leaves behind her beloved husband of 53 years, Hubert Roque; her cherished children Monique (Bryan), Pat (Nancy) and Joanne (Louie). She was so proud of her six grandchildren, Ayslynn, Eriq, Baylie, Amanda, Blaque and Lindsey. Georgette will be remembered by her six brothers, Fabien (Lucille), Larry (Judy), Victor (Yvette), Levis (Lucille), Rheal (Irene), Claude (Odete) along with many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, Leon and Edmee Desmarais and her only sister, Lilliane Lussier. Mom's kindness, generosity and unconditional love were some of her qualities she has passed onto us and it is now our turn to live by these examples. We all know that she was the happiest in her kitchen, her garden and her sewing room. Friends and family are blessed with examples of her sewing talent and we will treasure them forever. Not for one minute will Mom allow us to forget her beautiful spirit and the unconditional love she gave everyone in her time with us! A celebration of her life service will be held at 2:00 p.m., Wednesday, February 12, 2014 at Green Acres Funeral Home, Highway #1 East at Navin Road. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Georgette may be made to the Heart and Stoke Foundation. GREEN ACRES Funeral Home and Cemetery (204) 222-3241 Condolences may be sent to www.greenacresfuneralhome.com

We were so sorry to hear of Georgette's passing. Our hearts go out to the Desmarais and Roque families. Georgette was a great friend who was so warm hearted and kind. I never pass by sewing stores without thinking of her (and all the great sales we'd tell each other about!). I take great pride in the garments she helped me make, sharing with me the professional tips needed to make it right(Now I always have to check that the plaids line up on the seams, and compare all tourtieres to Georgette's! Thank you, Georgette!). Georgette will be the guardian angel watching over her family and friends as they are so important to her. We are sorry that we won't be able to attend on Wednesday, but know that we have you in our hearts. - Posted by: Chuck & Kim Haldane-Wilsone (Friends ) on: Feb 11, 2014

Your mom was such a wonderful mom... She believed in me & gave me inner courage. She taught me so much with regards to sewing and inspired me at a young age to love this kind of art. She once told me that sewing should be relaxing and I love to sew because of her. My deepest sympathies are with you all. Take care of each other during this difficult time! - Posted by: Louise (Fiola) Doberstein (Friends from junior high & high school with Joanne) on: Feb 11, 2014
