Elise Lydia Cleeves (formerly Lamarre, Antle nee Vineham) passed away in the early hours of April 11, 2014 in Edmonton, Alberta. She was born in Grand Falls, Nfld. on October 2, 1935 to Virtue Vineham of Lewisporte, Nfld. Elise is survived by her loving husband Al, her four children Johanne Lamarre, Louise McGinnis (David), Paul Lamarre (Liz) and David Lamarre (Donna), seven grandchildren: Michael, Jade, Kathleen, Paige, Christopher, Dylan, Parker and a great granddaughter Annwyn. As she requested, there will be no service, and a simple cremation has been carried out. In lieu of flowers, friends and family are asked to make a donation in her name to one of: The Canadian Diabetes Association, an Alzheimer’s Association or support group, to the Humane Society/SPCA or an animal shelter of their choice. Planting a tree or donating a bench with a view of the ocean, river or pond for passersby to rest was also among her last wishes. Elise was always a bit of a gypsy and one of the expressions she picked up in her travels was, as they say in Texas, “Keep on keeping on”, so that’s what we’ll do.
