GODIN, Mérilda

It is with sadness and much love that we announce the passing of our mother. Mérilda Godin (née Landry) born May 9, 1923 has passed away peacefully at Villa St-Gabriel at the age of 100. She leaves behind a rich legacy of love of family and dedicated faith. Beloved wife of Alfred Godin (predeceased in 1977).

She had 15 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great-grandchildren. Our mother was very graceful and had a bright smile that would light up every room. Mom was an avid walker for many years that brought her much health which contributed to her longevity. The family wishes to express gratitude to Villa St-Gabriel in Chelmsford, which she absolutely loved. Your care for our mother in her final days, where she felt safe, comfortable and surrounded with love by all of you.
