1980-2020
The family announces with deep sadness her accidental death in Sudbury, Tuesday November 17th, 2020 at the age of 40 years. Much loved daughter of Bruno and Colette (née Bérubé) Ducharme. Dear wife of Steve Paul. Daughter-in-law to Cheryl Vezeau (Robin), Terry Paul (Sheryl). Francine is survived by her adored children Danica and Mathieu Lafleur and their father Benoit Lafleur. Sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her sister Natalie Ducharme (Dan) and her brother Gaetan Ducharme (Shannon). Her nieces and nephews Hailey, Rylan, Dylan and Aline will always treasure their fond memories of their aunt Francine. The many uncles and aunts of the Bérubé and Ducharme families will also grieve this sudden and tragic loss. A very loving and caring person, Francine also cherished her faithful dog Mckenzie and her extensive collection of all things giraffe. Being outdoors and enjoying nature, especially at the camp on lake Ashigami, you would find her boating, taking pictures on her phone of the beautiful surroundings, catching pickerel or quadding. Her great sense of humour caused her to always be teasing the people and animals around her. Helpful, compassionate, kindhearted and generous are words to truly describe our precious Francine. The family thanks everyone in advance for all the calls and kind words. Donations to the children’s education fund can be made by e-transfer to Colette Ducharme at [email protected].
