CHATELAINE, Rita (nee Mathieu)

July 21, 2021 88 years old

CHATELAINE, Rita (1)

The family announces with great sorrow her passing in Sudbury, Wednesday, July 21, 2021 at the age of 88 years. Wife of the late Albert Chatelaine. Daughter of the late Fred and the late Marie (née Ménard) Mathieu. Loving mother of Victor (Bonnie), Nicole MacDonald (Mike) and Carol Fantin (Lawrence/Duke). Predeceased by her son Richard. Dear sister of Germaine Larondeau (late Lionel) (friend Donald), Homer (late Jacquie), Robert (Enola) and Roger (Michelle). Cherished grandmother of Aimée (James), Eric (Nadine), Brian (Rebecca), Allison, Amanda, Katelyn, and great-grandmother to Deidra, Declan, Dexter, Darcy, Sidra, Penny, Abigail and expected arrival of another little girl in late August. Precious godmother to Suzanne Larondeau, the late David Mathieu and Katelyn Fantin. Sadly missed by many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Thousands of preemies were graced with hand knit sweater sets that Mom lovingly made for them. She was likely one of the Toronto Maple Leafs most dedicated fans and defied anyone from talking bad about her Toronto Blue Jays which explained her love of watching and supporting her grandchildren play these same sports. Thank you Mémère for cheering us on. A funeral Mass will be celebrated Friday, August 6, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. at Paroisse St-Jacques, Hanmer followed by the interment at the Valley-East Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations (by cheque or online) to a charity of choice. www.cooperativefuneralhome.ca.
