1955 - April 23, 2025

It is with an immeasurable and insurmountable amount of grief and sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved MammaBear/GrammaBear, Joan Tricia Janisse (née Carruthers),
who was surrounded by her loving family at just 69 years young.

Also survived by her brother George (Beverly), sister Linda (Howard), and sisters-in-law Jean, Carol, and Eleanor.

Daniel Rudolph Hebert

1941 – April 2025

A few weeks shy of his 84th birthday, Daniel Rudolph Hebert passed peacefully in his sleep and, as his family fondly shared, was “beamed up to the Enterprise.”

Beloved husband of the late Mary Lue (née Savage, 1982) and the late Mady (née Weiland, 2016). Cherished father of Darlene (Edgardo), Julie, and Daniel Jr. Proud pépé to Cézanne. Step-father of Peter, Daniel (Bev), Paul, and Christopher. Loving step-grandfather to Cory, Cole, and Nicole.

Daniel was a respected tool and die mouldmaker and dedicated Chrysler employee. Known for his quiet wit and skilled hands, he could fix just about anything. He loved cribbage, crossword puzzles, and Star Trek — particularly the wisdom of Jean-Luc Picard.

A private family service was held with burial at Heavenly Rest Cemetery.

In Daniel’s memory, donations to the Parkinson’s Society of Southwestern Ontario would be appreciated.
