LEOPOLDINE RIOUX (née GREGOIRE) It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our dear mother, Léopoldine Rioux on August 6, 2018, at the St. Boniface Hospital, surrounded by family. She is survived by her children, Albert (Monique), Joseph (Mardell), Sister Irène (Grey Nun), Armand (Yvette), Angèle (Terry), Roland (Margaret), and Lucille (Don); her loving 16 grandchildren, 41 great-grandchildren, and nine great-great-grandchildren. She will also be missed by her siblings, Albertine, Marie-Jeanne, Eva (Knud), Simone, Sister Armande, Maurice (Evelyn), Angèle (Roman), Denis (Sharon) and Marcel (Linda). She was predeceased by her husband Pierre Rioux; her parents, Joseph and Exilia Grégoire; daughter-in-law Rose Rioux; and siblings, Dollard, Albert, Léopold, Marie Reine, Marie Ange, Aldéa, François, Ralph and Bibiane. Mom was a faith-filled, joyful and prayerful woman with an open and friendly personality. An associate of St. Marguerite d'Youville, Mom was passionate about family and friends, and enjoyed gatherings. She made many friends while travelling with Embassy Tours, and enjoyed meeting friends at McDonald's, her second home. The family would like to express heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated staff of St. Boniface Hospital, home care staff and all those who spent time with our dear mother. Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Monday, August 13, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. at the Saints-Martyrs-Canadiens Church, 289 Dussault Avenue. The Mass will be preceded by hymns at 1:30 p.m., followed by the eulogy at 1:45 p.m. Lunch will follow the service. Cremation and a private interment will take place at a later date. For those who wish, donations in Mom's memory may be made to the charity of your choice. You may be gone, but you will never be forgotten.
