Irene Marie DeGagne

Oct 16 1926 to Oct 14 2016

On the morning of Oct 14 our dear Mom passed peacefully at Foyer Notre Dame with family by her bed side.

Mom will be greatly loved and missed by her children Linda, Karen (Tim) and Raymond, as well as granddaughters Nicole and Meghan, sister Rita, and brother Roland. She was predeceased by sons Colin (Carol) and Donnie, brother Rene and sister Rose.

Mom grew up in Fannystelle, raised her family in Elm Creek, and later in life lived with Otto Kliewer for several happy years. She later lived in Ste Anne, Fort Francis and Winnipeg. Mom lived for 9 of the last 10 years with son Raymond, where she thoroughly enjoyed gardening, knitting, jigsaw puzzles, word search, and had a fine collection of music boxes, spoons, and angels that she was so proud of. Mom loved people and made several friends at Zeller's restaurant in Winnipeg every "Momday". Known as Gramma, she was a loving person, always hugging and caring for everyone, especially her little dog, Chi Chi Man, whom she adored.

We wish to thank the Foyer staff for their exceptional and loving care of Mom for the last 14 months.

Mom, we will miss you so much and love you always. And remember, when you get to heaven, let us know and just let it ring once.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Foyer Notre Dame, Notre Dame de Lourdes.

Funeral services to be held at Doyle's Funeral Home, Carman, Manitoba at 2 PM on October 22, 2016.
