It is with wonderful memories of a life well-lived that we announce the passing of our beloved Mom, Carmelle. Born and raised in Iroquois Falls, Ontario, Mom passed away in Oshawa, Ontario on March 13, 2025, at the age of 96.

Oshawa was home for Mom. She worked at Devon Pharmacy for some 27 years, a job she loved so much. You could always count on a pleasant greeting when you entered the pharmacy. Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren meant everything to her, as well as her many friends.

Mom was predeceased by our father, Gerard Larocque, a veteran of WWII, our brother Shawn, our step-father Claude, her parents Armand and Isola Gauthier, her sisters Diane Jessup, Helen Dupre, Jeannine Naud, and brother Gerald.

She will forever be remembered by her children Georges (Jodie), Sharon (Eddy), Brenda (Paul), Michael, and Caroline (Terry). Her grandchildren, James Thompson, Chantal Cochrane (John), Vidal Larocque (Lena), Jean-Claude Larocque (Wanda), Leisa Palmer (Leo), Joey Harwood-Jones, Melanie Maxwell, Jared Larocque, Joel Larocque, Daniel Larocque, Jenny Larocque (Casey), and her great-grandchildren, Kyle, Kody, Jamie, Kingston, Blake, Ryely, Jaxen, Mackenzie, Hazel, Chyna, and Chace, as well as her many nieces, nephews, and friends.
