June 12, 1943 – January 18, 2023
It is with profound sadness that we announce that Carole Lachance passed away peacefully with her family by her side on January 18, 2023.
She will be remembered by her sons Hubert (Arlene), Danys (Stephanie), her daughters Nicole (Colan) and Guylaine (Mike); her grandchildren Joanna, Kamryn, Alix, Carter, Véronique, Ève, Alexi, and Mia; her brother Ulysses, her sister Ilène; her dear friend Marcel Fraser; along with numerous other friends and family.

Carole attended Baie St. Paul East School, École St. Eustache, and St. Joseph`s Academy for her elementary education. She then pursued her studies at St. François Xavier High School where she graduated in 1961. Carole spent her summers at the farm being very busy with the various gardening chores, milking cows, haying and hauling bales.
Throughout her busy life, Carole held various jobs and professions, with the highlight being when she became a nursery schoolteacher in 1986. For over 17 years, she helped shape young minds at many different schools, including her own nursery school at St. Germain. Her love of working with children continued as an Education assistant for 8 more years.
A Funeral Service will be held at St. Timothy Parish on Friday January 27 at 1:30 PM, 77 John Forsyth Rd.
The family wishes to send a special thank you to the staff at the Grace Hospital for their care and compassion.

May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now and in the days ahead.
Nicole, my sincere sympathies on the passing of your Mom. No matter the circumstance it is always a difficult loss and breaks your heart in a million ways , sometimes when you least expect it to. I hope you feel her with you, as you do your Dad, as you navigate through your life ahead. May she watch over you, keep you safe and May you find peace in her memory.

Ma Tante Carole.
I’m saddened by the loss and at the same time, appreciative of having had the opportunity to have spent time with you last July. It made me laugh and remember spending fun times at your house when I was a kid. Thanks for the good memories.
Au revoir- j’espere, a la prochaine fois…

I have many beautiful memories of Carole and Roger. Carole was always very kind and always had a beautiful smile . Carole cut my hair as a little girl. I always enjoyed my visits to Carole and Roger’s happy home with a gang of children not much younger than me. Carole made this world a happier place. My sincerest condolences to her loved ones .
Guylaine, and Family
I have many memories of your mom growing up, at school. Elle était toujours souriante, come ces belles et beauc enfants, petits enfants. My heart breaks for all of your family, it is never easy to say goodbye to someone we love and cherish so dearly. Please take comfort in knowing that mom is with you always in your heart and is and always will be there to listen. May her memories fill your hearts with love, peace and comfort. My shoulders and hugs are here if you need me..
sincerely,
Ginette ❤️
Mes condoléances à toute la famille Lachance…
My condolences to the Lachance family. I got to know your mom living in St, Germain when she owned the greenhouse and a chance on occasion to have a coffee with her.

I’m saddened to hear of Carole’s passing away. I recall many years ago setting up a blind date for her with Roger lachance. We all went to a drive in movie but don’t ask me what the movie was as I don’t remember.. Cheers till we meet again.
