Blais, Violet

BLAIS, Violet - In Loving Memory of Violet Blais. It is with great sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Violet Blais on Monday, September 14 at the age of 96, at Falconbridge Extendicare. Mom will be lovingly remembered by her son Doug, wife Pat and grandchildren Carol (Terry Fisher), Daniel (Hollie Roberts), Theresa (Larry Nielsen), Barbara Blais, David (Janette) Susan Backer (Rick) Penny Effler (Jay) and her mainstay Darlene Sargent. Also by her 16 great grandchildren, Christa (Paul) Birkbeck, Billy & Nickolas Blais, Jessica, Alexandra and Christopher Fisher, Lauren, Nicole & Taylor Nielsen, Stephanie & Matthew Hampton, Justine & Madison Backer, Daniel & Matthew Sheardown & Emily Effler. Also three great-great grandchildren Parker and Blaine Birkbeck and Dhylia Fisher. She was predeceased by her husband Ocam, son Brian and three year old daughter Carol, great grandson, Joseph Blais, sister Eileen Sargent, brothers Fred Penny and Jim Penny. Mom was employed at the T. Eaton Company in Sudbury where she retired in 1978. She lived at McCrae Lake for many years, taking pride in her flowers and yard. Her great joy was having the grandchildren visit and watching them swim in the lake and picking blueberries with them. After a few years she moved into an apartment in Sudbury, and later to Angus, ON, to live with her oldest granddaughter Carol and her family. When her health started to fail she moved back to Sudbury. Mom will be sadly missed, especially her sense of humour, by all who knew her. The family would like to extend a special thanks to the staff at Falconbridge Extendicare for the wonderful care and compassion they provided Mom.
