PATRICIA LOUISE GAUDETTE
(nee GARBUTT)
May 29, 1946 – October 19, 2014
Patricia (Pat) Gaudette passed away peacefully on Sunday,
October 19, 2014 in the St. Boniface Hospital Palliative Care unit with her
family at her bedside after a courageous battle with cancer.
Left
to mourn Pat’s memory are her husband Harold, daughter Cathy (Kurt), grandson
Quinn, and aunt Evelyn, cousins Kim and Derek stepson Chris and step
granddaughter Toni-Anne.
Pat
was born in Winnipeg and grew up in Charleswood. From when she was six weeks
old her parents took her camping in the Whiteshell. As an adult she continued
to enjoy the beauty of the Whiteshell and formed many amazing friendships. Pat
and her family camped at Otter Falls, Nutimik Lake and finally settled in the
Pinawa Campground. She would always say she was happiest if she had rocks,
trees and water around her.
For
30 years Pat worked as a nurse, spending her last 18 years at Deer Lodge before
retiring. She spent several years as part of a Red Hat Group. She also enjoyed
an occasional visit to the casino for something different. Pat enjoyed reading,
meeting with friends for coffee and travelling.
Pat
was a very proud Nana of her precious grandson Quinn, always there to cheer him
on at his baseball games, basketball, art classes and other interests. They
always had many laughs to share.
In keeping with Pat’s wishes, a private family service will
be held.
Thanks
to the nurses and doctors of Cancer Care Manitoba (at both the McDermot
location and the St. Boniface Hospital), the palliative care nurses that made
the weekly home visits, the doctors and nurses of the palliative care ward of
the St. Boniface Hospital.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Cancer Care
Manitoba or the charity of your choice.
