It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Germaine Benoit (nee DeRiviere), on Wednesday, March 21, 2018 at the age of 89 years.

She will be dearly missed by her sons, Ken (Deb Lillies) and Randy (Michele); her grandchildren Bryce, Mackenzie, Keith and Tanya (Robbie) and great grandchildren, Phoenix and Deja. Also left to mourn are her sister, Madeleine and brother Fermin; brother-in-law Joseph (Agathe) and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Aime in 2005 and her sister Anne in 2014.

Mom was born August 19, 1928 in St. Alphonse, MB. She and Dad married on October 24, 1944 and farmed in Greenway until 1963 when they moved to St. Boniface. She loved her house in the city and was very happy to be able to stay there right up until two weeks ago. She had the best sense of humour, no one enjoyed a good joke more, which was evident right to the end.

The family wishes to thank the staff of Concordia Hospital for their care and compassion. In lieu of flowers, donations can to made to Cancer Care. To honour Germaine’s wishes, no service with be held.
