Obituary of Marguerite Yvette Parent

Marguerite Yvette Parent February 23, 1948 – August 10, 2016 If you are reading this today, you know that I’ve finally joined my twin brother, Marcel Francois Albert. I’m also with my late parents: Jeannette Dubois (1986) and Russell Parent (2001), my brother/godfather, Elmer (1995), Roland’s twin brother, Raymond (1946) and my sister and brother-in-law Genny and Harry Wikston. I’m sorry to leave behind my sister/godmother Gloria (Bob) Young of Parry Sound; my sister Connie Cockle of London; my brothers Leon of Winnipeg, MB; Robert (Therese) of Welland; Bill (Doreen) of Barrie and Roland of Harty, ON; my sister-in-law Ruth Parent of Shelburne and my goddaughter Susanne Parent-Pulak of Winnipeg, MB. I take pride in telling everyone about my numerous nieces and nephews, great nieces and great nephews: especially Laurie (Tanya) Cockle, Craig, Zack and Jake Cockle, all of London. Born and raised in Timmins on February 23, 1948. I graduated as an R.N.A. from Misericordia Hospital in Haileybury, ON in 1968. I came directly to London to start my nursing career. I retired from St. Joseph’s Hospital after more than 35 years service and have recommended retirement ever since. To all my very good friends: Thank You. To those who really know me, you’ll appreciate me asking you to plant a tree for me at your home or cottage. A memorial service will be conducted at WESTVIEW FUNERAL CHAPEL, 709 Wonderland Road North, London, on Monday, August 15th, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. Those wishing to make a donation are asked to consider the Brain Tumor Foundation, Lawson Diabetes Education Centre, Heart and Stroke Foundation or the London Regional Cancer Program. On behalf of the Parent Family, we wish to thank all of you for your thoughtful words and support during this difficult time for Maggie. It has been hard on family and friends to see her decline these past months. May she now rest in peace. Again, our sincere thanks to one and all. The Parent Family
