She leaves to mourn, her husband of 65 years, Harold, her children Marilyn (Jean), Jim (Francine), Donna, honorary son, Grant Wilkinson, as well as her four grandchildren: Jason (Alicia), Stefane, Patrick, Pamela and her great grandson Logan.
Born in Ottawa, June 24, 1941, she took a career at the RCMP where she met her handsome Mountie Harold and lived a full, remarkable life. Mom loved Harold and her family fiercely. After having 3 children, she went back to work at the House of Commons. In her retirement she was an extremely talented painter. Pierrette was beautiful, brilliant, quirky, funny and so full of life that her smile lit up the room. Everyone that met her loved her. Our world will never be the same without her.

Mom, you will live on eternally, in our hearts.
