It was described specifically or transcribed by them as "ODILE BOURRIER (née LACROIX); Born: Oct 28, 1936; Date of Passing: Jan 05, 2025; On January 5, our beloved mother and grandmother slipped away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones.". She leaves to mourn her daughters, Lorelei (Mark) and Barbara (Gordon), granddaughters, Aimée and Elena, the apples of her eye, and her brother and sister, Henri (Laurette) and Marguerite, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her mother Angéline and her sisters, Anita, Monique, Marie-Ange and Georgette. Notre mère et grand-mère bien adorée nous a quittés paisiblement le 5 janvier, entourée de ses proches. Elle laisse dans le deuil ses filles, Lorelei (Mark) et Barbara (Gordon), ses petites-filles, Aimée et Elena, son frère et sa soeur, Henri (Laurette) et Marguerite, ainsi que de nombreux neveux et nièces. Odile a retrouvé sa Maman et ses soeurs, Anita, Monique, Marie-Ange et Georgette au ciel. Odile grew up in Saint-Claude, MB, and moved to Winnipeg to attend teacher's college. She enjoyed a long career in education, spending her first years teaching in rural and Northern Manitoba before settling in at Ecole Sacré-Coeur in Winnipeg. She was part of Manitoba's pioneering team of educators in French immersion and helped update the Grade 2 provincial mathematics curriculum in the 1990s. Madame Bourrier touched the lives of many children during her career. La famille était extrêmement importante pour Odile et elle adorait les fêtes, les grands repas et les réunions de famille. Elle tenait à ses deux petites-filles comme à la prunelle de ses yeux et a passé d'innombrables moments heureux à jouer avec elles. Elle les a vu grandir avec une immense fierté. An avid gardener, Odile filled her backyard with vegetables, herbs and flowers. She also enjoyed knitting and crochet. After retirement, she volunteered, notably at Age & Opportunity and at tax clinics. She remained a Blue Jays fan 'til the end. Nous tenons à remercier tout le personnel de la Villa Aulneau, qui ont offert un chez-soi chaleureux et amical où Odile a pu passer ses dernières années. We thank the staff at Health Sciences Centre for their compassion and for making Odile's last days comfortable. Memorial donations may be made in Odile's name to the Winnipeg School Division's Children's Heritage Endowment Fund or Nature Manitoba. We ask all who knew Odile to spread some kindness and smiles, as she did. A Celebration of Odile's life will be held at Desjardins Funeral Home. -- As published in the Winnipeg Free Press on Jan 11, 2025 Reported as having been published or sourced on or about 2025/01/11.
