Richard Wojcik's Funeral Chapel - Lise Lacombe Funeral Arrangements

LISE GINETTE LACOMBE
26 octobre 1946 – 18 mars 2014

Après une courte et très difficile bataille contre le cancer, c'est avec une grande tristesse que notre tendre et bien-aimée Lise Ginette Lacombe est décédée paisiblement à la maison entourée de son époux  et de ses deux sœurs, mardi matin le 18 mars 2014 à l'âge de 67 ans. Elle était la fille de feue Aurore Vallée et de feu Alcide Lacombe.
Elle laisse dans le deuil son époux Patrick Slevin, ses sœurs : Pierrette (Yvon J. Picard), Édith (Maurice Paquin) ; ses neveux et nièces : Christine, David, Judith Picard, Marc-André Paquin, et tous ceux de la famille Slevin, ses cousins et cousines, son oncle Jacques (Mariette Guillemette) ainsi que de nombreux et fidèles amis.
Lise était une femme qui a touché plusieurs personnes par ses connaissances, ses gestes personnels et ses attentions particulières.
Elle est née à Shawinigan, QC. A débuté sa carrière dans cette ville et ensuite déménagée à Ottawa. En 1985, ayant rencontré Patrick, elle est venue vivre à Winnipeg. Lise fut coordonnatrice des services en langue française au Ministère provincial de la santé jusqu'à sa retraite en 2002.
Lise et Patrick ont bien profité de leur retraite ensemble. Ils ont visité souvent le Canada et les États-Unis d'un océan à l'autre avec leurs équipes de « slow-pitch ». En 2008, ils ont effectué une mémorable croisière autour du monde et ont passé les 5 derniers hivers en Arizona.
Nos sincères remerciements au personnel et aux aidants pour les soins attentifs que Lise a reçus au GD-4 du « Health Centre » ainsi que de l’équipe des soins palliatifs à la maison.
Pour respecter sa volonté, Lise sera incinérée et sans funérailles.
Au lieu d'envoyer des fleurs, Lise aimerait que vous embrassiez un être cher.

Remembering Me
To the living, I am gone
To the sorrowful, I will never return
To the happy, I am at peace.
I cannot speak, but I can listen
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard
So, as you stand upon a shore gazing at the beautiful lake at Sunset – Remember me.
For if you always think of me, I will have never gone.
