In loving memory of Alice Elise Lafrance Poulin (née Lafrance), who passed away peacefully on December 27, 2024, at the age of 88. Alice was the daughter of Albert Lafrance (predeceased) and Florence Chaloux (predeceased), and the beloved wife of Edgar Poulin (predeceased). Loving mother of four sons: Richard, Danny, Mike (Colette Godin), and Rob. Cherished sister to Lorraine Ouimette, Liliane Berube, Cecile Bissaillon (predeceased), Jill McLeod (predeceased), and Norman Lafrance (predeceased). Proud grandmother and great-grandmother to nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren: Daniel, Michel, Genevieve, Janique, Ian, Les, David, Madeleine, Steven (predeceased), Bastien, and Brielle.
Alice was a source of calmness and peace to all who knew her. She radiated love, generosity, and acceptance, welcoming everyone who visited her home, including neighbors, friends, and even the local pets. Known for her wisdom and selflessness, Alice always put the needs of others first. Her passion for blueberry picking, love for nature, and keen sense of being in tune with others’ emotions made her truly special.
She often shared words of wisdom with her loved ones, such as:
- “We’re all different, and the world would be a boring place if we were all the same.”
- “Your kids and family always come first.”
- “Don’t be in such a rush; where are you going that’s so important?”
- “Save your money – you never know when times will get tough.”
- “Our animal friends can sense the kindness in you.”
- “Why do you have to buy a new one? The old one still works – stop wasting.”
As per her family’s wishes, there will be no funeral or visitation. A private family Celebration of Life will be held in the spring. Cremation services have been provided by Simple Wishes of the North, Sudbury, and Crystal Crematorium.
May Alice find peace in a place of harmony and love that resonates with her life’s values.
