January 23, 1923 October 23, 2008
With her family by her side, our mother, wife, grandmother and great grandmother lost her valiant battle with cancer. Her indomitable spirit lives to be an inspiration to us all. A remarkably strong woman with a great love of family, a passion for traveling and feisty to the end, Laura leaves behind to mourn her passing her devoted husband Laurent (Lou), her four daughters, Rose (Jeff), Linda (Harry), Ruth (Jim), Louise (Brian) and stepchildren Chrissy and Richard. Also left to remember her are grandchildren Donna, Bob, Theresa, Kim, Joe, Scott, Lisa, Cyndy, Jennifer, Jason, Stephanie, Chantelle and Luke, 15 great grandchildren and 2 great great grandchildren. Laura is also survived by two sisters, Mary and Yvonne, and was predeceased by her first husband Hubert, brother Albert and sisters, Lena, Theresa, Emma, and Albertina. Our family is profoundly grateful for the care our Mom received from all of the health care professionals involved both in Victoria and on the Saanich Peninsula. Although you are too numerous to mention, you know who you are. May you all be forever blessed for what you do. Friends may pay their respects at McCall’s Funeral Home, Johnson and Vancouver Sts. on Friday, October 24th from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. The funeral service will be conducted at McCall Bros. Floral Chapel on Saturday October 25th at 3pm. Flowers are gratefully declined; tributes, if desired, may be directed to the Saanich Peninsula Hospital’s Palliative Care Unit, 2166 Mt. Newton X Road, Saanichton, BC, V8M 2B2.
