Jun 6, 1931 - Apr 18, 2018
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother and twin sister, Therese Rita Savoie (nee Gabrielle) on April 18, 2018 surrounded by her family. She is predeceased by her parents and her brothers Andre and Louis.

Therese was born on June 6th, 1931 in Cudworth, Saskatchewan and was one of four children raised by her parents Gaston and Josephine Gabrielle in Benito Manitoba. She graduated as an RN from St Boniface Hospital School of Nursing in 1953 and married Fernand (Fern) Savoie in 1954. After Fern graduated from Dental School, they moved to Nanaimo, BC, where they raised their five children.

She leaves behind to mourn, her beloved and dedicated husband, Fern, her identical twin sister, Marguerite Fredette, her children, Andre (Munj), Marc (Carolyn), Claude (Kathryn), Denis (Donna), Lise (Mark), her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

In Lieu of flowers, please donate to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

A special thank you to Nanaimo Seniors Village, Dr. Beerman and to those who cared so much. A simple thank you seems inadequate.

A service open to the public will be at Trinity Catholic Church, 6234 Spartan Rd. at 11 am on April 28th with light refreshments to follow.
