It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Félicité Kanzayire Murangira, on Monday, November 6th, 2023.
She is survived by her loving husband, Geoffrey Murangira, married for 40 plus years. She was a loving mother to Bruce, Linda, Robbin and Pamela, and an amazing grandmother to her six granddaughters, Alyzah, Olivia, Tamiah, Lea, Naomi and Kenza. She was also the dear sister to Esther (deceased), Thadée, Gaétan, Thérèse, Alexis (deceased), Alphonse and Josephine.
Félicité was the true definition of an angel on earth and she will always hold a special place in all of our hearts. She was a unique soul, a selfless woman who dedicated her entire life to serving others and making the world a better place. She deeply impacted the lives of many.
Félicité carries with her a long list of achievements and prestigious awards as a community leader and champion, but what meant the most to her was the on-the-ground community work that she tirelessly committed herself to everyday for more than 30 years. She had a heart of gold and gave generously of her time and efforts to her community. Despite achieving great success, Félicité remained humble. She was the kind of person that was simply too good to be true.
As a Mother that one could only dream of, she provided the utmost unconditional love and instilled great values in her children and grandchildren. Félicité, our angel, has been called home and will leave a painful hole in all of our hearts, but she would want nothing more than her legacy and community work to be carried out through all of the lives that she has significantly impacted. Félicité will live on forever within the hearts of those whom she has helped and through her loving family.
Visitation will be held at Beechwood National Memorial Centre 280 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa, on Tuesday, November 14th, 2023 from 4:00pm to 8:00pm.
Funeral Service will be held on Wednesday, November 15th, 2023 at 1:00pm with burial and reception to follow. For those unable to attend in person, the 1:00pm Funeral Service will be livestream. Please click here to view: https://v2.forever.link/j/yt/07059

Je ne peux pas y croire et pourtant c'est vrai tu viens de nous quitter . Plus de 45 ans d'une grande d'amitié m'ont permis de voir quelle grande dame tu étais. D'amie tu étais devenue une vraie grande sœur. J'ai pu apprécier aussi qu'elle grande âme tu étais en plus d'être une femme avec un F dans tous les sens du terme. Belle , élégante, travailleuse et toujours disponible à rendre service. Salue nos deux papas de ma part et dis leur que je les aime toujours comme avant. Until we meet again repose en paix ma chère Fely.

She fought the good fight. She ran the race. She kept the Faith. Her courage and steadastness is something for us to continue with and learn from. Her Soul rests in Peace now and as she smiles down at us from Heaven, let us comfort each other with the knowledge of how she would want us to be.
