Obituary for Anita Colette Quirion (Buteau)

Anita passed away at Health Sciences North on October 30th, 2014 at the lovely age of 90 years. She and her husband Raymond (predeceased in 2000) were long-time residents of Longlac, Ontario. She was the loving mother of Michelle Quirion (Doug Stephens) of Sudbury, Roger (Gail), Suzie of Thunder Bay and Andre (Sharon) of Oshawa. Denise, Rheal, Celine and Louise (all predeceased). She was the extraordinary grandmother of Christopher Miron (Wendy) of Whistler, Matthew, Hilary and Andrew of Thunder Bay, Gavin, (Tracey), Bryan (Daniella), and Katelyn (Justin) Barrett of Thunder Bay and Steven of Red Deer and James (Lindsay) Quirion of Oshawa and Shannon Steele (Mike). She was the precious great-grandmother of Chloe Miron, Marianna and Henry Barrett and Rylan, Gracie, Jailyn and Grady Quirion and Matthew and Charlie Steele. She is survived by brothers Marcel, Martin and Claude and her sisters Martha, Claudette and Mariette. Until the last few months of her life, our mother was totally involved with her community - she called the folks there “her second family” and loved living in her house.
She was a devout Catholic, daughter of Isabella, a volunteer with the Canadian Cancer Society, and a friend to so many. She will forever be remembered for her unfailing love of her family, for her incredible zest for life, and for her wonderful sense of humour. She will be missed incredibly by all of her “families”.
Funeral mass and Celebration of her Life will be held in Longlac on November 22nd, 2014.
In lieu of flowers, donations to L’Eglise St Jean de Baptiste in Longlac or the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. Arrangements entrusted to the Jackson and Barnard Funeral Home.
