The family of Iola are sad to announce her peaceful passing on Aug. 2 at the age of 93.

She was predeceased by Leonard, her husband of almost 55 years.

She is forever in the hearts of her children Barry (Danielle Dumont), Heather (Jim Montgomery), Dale (Glenn Waters) and Terry.

She was the proud and loving grandmother of William (Ashley), Amanda (Josh), Ryan (Christine), Lori (Adam), Jennifer (Alex) and Sarah (Sebastien).

Her great-grandchildren Hendrix, Axel, Alex, Lucas, Sophie, Caleb, Emersyn, Kira, Alice, Julianna and Isabella brought her such great joy.

She also leaves behind her brothers-in-law Irvin McCartney (Edith Stovold) and Glen McCartney along with many nieces, nephews and friends.

Mom was very kind and generous to all. Everyone was always welcome at the farm. She enjoyed a good game of cards and great conversation.

Mom lived most of her life in Valcartier Village on the family farm. After Dad passed away, she started a new chapter in her life by moving to Ontario to be closer to family, and created more beautiful memories.

The past few years were spent at a retirement residence where staff and friends were impressed with her puzzle expertise and looked forward to seeing her beautiful smile.

As per her wishes, she will be laid to rest in her beloved Valcartier at a later date.
