DENISE CASAVANT
It is with deep sadness that the family of Denise Marie Augustine Casavant (née Georget), announce the sudden passing of our dear mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother on Monday February 1, 2010 at the age of 78 years. Denise is survived by her loving family: her five sons, Ron (Maureen), Victor (Beverly), Maxim (Lori), Urban (Carolyn), and Dale (Leslie) Casavant; thirteen grandchildren; twenty-four great-grandchildren; her sisters, Aline St. Hilaire and Angeline Marcotte; her sisters-in-law Alice Georget and Marie Georget; her step-sons André, Don and Denis LaFreniére and their families as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband of 37 years, Paul Casavant in 1987. Her husband Léo LaFreniére in 1997. Her parents, Joseph and Adelia Georget; her brothers Oliva, Raymond, and Roger Georget and brothers-in-law Roger Marcotte and Léo St. Hilaire and one sister-in-law Cécile Georget. Denise was born November 21, 1931, in a sleigh on the way to the Wakaw hospital, on a snowy day. She grew up with two sisters and three brothers, on the farm in Domremy. She attended school in Domremy and then went on to the Rivier Academy in Prince Albert. Denise and Paul were married on October 11, 1949, and together they farmed in Domremy and Crystal Springs, and raised a family of five boys. They moved to Prince Albert in 1965, where they continued to farm and raise their family. In later years Denise and Paul enjoyed many winters in Mesa, Arizona, where many of their family members spent the winter in Trailer Village. After Paul’s passing in 1987, Denise occasionally took a trip south with her sisters, brothers and her sons, often with a stop in Las Vegas to try her luck. Mom was always lots of fun and had a great sense of humour. Love would shine upon her once again, during one of her visits to Mesa, when she met Léo LaFreniére, they were married on October 8, 1994. Denise moved to Prud’homme with Léo, for 3 ½ wonderful years until Léo’s untimely passing, following which, Denise moved back to Prince Albert. Denise’s great zest for life, her faith, and love of family, helped her to carry on. She enjoyed visiting her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and her dear friends and relatives and a good game of cards. We will forever cherish our special memories of our Mom, as she will be so greatly missed by her family, friends, and all who knew her. Miss Me ~ Let Me Go. When I come to the end of the road, And the sun has set on, I want no rites in a gloom filled room, Why cry for a soul set free! Miss me a little - but not for too long. And not with your heads bowed low! Remember the love we once shared. Miss- me - But let me go! For this is a journey that we all must take, And each must go alone; It's all part of the Master’s Plan. A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, Go to the friends we know, And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds…
Miss me ~ But Let Me Go! A Private Family Service was held at Denise’s request, from the Garden of Sermon on the Mount, Prince Albert Memorial Gardens. Family and friends may send email condolences to www.riverparkfuneral.ca. In lieu of flowers, donations are to the charity of one’s choice. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to the care of Phil Fredette, Funeral Director

  "Dear family of Auntie Denise My deepest symphathy to you all, this has come to such a shock. Just before Xmas I was laughing with her and never for a minute would I have thought that today she would be gone.

I am in Costa Rica and will pray for the family. Love Therese Lungull"
