PEARLINE (PEARL) MAE CONNON

It is with great sorrow our family announces the sudden passing of Pearl on Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2003 at La Verendrye General Hospital in Fort Frances, Ont. She was born June 19, 1932 in Rainy River, Ont.
She will be greatly missed by her loving husband of 49 years, Tom; her special daughter, Val Marie; her daughter, Debbie; her son, Darren (Bonnie) of Winnipeg, Man.; and her daughter, Terri (Mark) Lalond of Kelowna, B.C.
She also is survived by her grandchildren, whom she loved dearly, Shawn (Juanita), Alexandria, Jaimie, Ryan, and Brandon.
She also leaves to mourn her brother, Almer (Evelyn) Godin of Rainy River, Ont.; sisters, Matilda Clarke of Fort Frances, Ont., Merle Lind of Sudbury, Ont., Irene Connon of Calgary, Alta., and Eleanor “Tiny” Sonstegard of Baudette, Mn.; and many nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her parents, George and Mary Jane Godin; brothers, George, Emil, Wilfred, and Louis Godin; and sister, Yvonne Almers.
She already is terribly missed by all who knew her. She touched our hearts with her wonderful smile and kindness. Pearl always had such a positive outlook on life and loved to socialize with family and friends, and was fondly known as “Dood.”^One of her favourite pastimes was playing Bingo and travelling.
Having many special kisses for “Gramma” is her special “little boy,” Carrington, who was a great companion for her and Dad.
We are sending Mom to Heaven on angels’ wings with so much love and faith in God. We all feel so blessed to have had her in our lives. She will never be forgotten.
We love you Mom, forever. Now we let you go.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, Oct. 18, 2003 at 2:30 p.m. at Green Funeral Home in Fort Frances, with Rev. Marietta Marshall officiating.
Friends may visit prior to the service Saturday at Green Funeral Home.
The pallbearers will be all of Pearl’s family and friends.
