It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our dear mother Mrs. Emma Gallant (nee Pineau) in her 98th year of St. Joseph¹s Nursing Home, Dundas, Ontario. She was born in Bloomfield, PEI, on July 2, 1917, the daughter of the late Henri Pineau and the late Sophia Poirier and was the last surviving member of her family. She was predeceased by her dear husband of 64 years, the late Henry Joseph Gallant (2000) of Howlan, PEI. Left to mourn are her six children: Hank (Roma), London, Ontario; Gloria (Wayne) Park, Grimsby, Ontario; Alicia (Philibért) Pelletier, Barrie, Ontario; Louis (Mavis), Hamilton, Ontario; Marjorie (Bob) Thomas, Hamilton, Ontario; and Gary (Debbie), Niagara Falls, Ontario; six grandchildren Richard (Sally) Pelletier, Michael (Stacey) Gallant, Jennifer Thomas, Rebecca (Joshua) Massie, Taylor and Joel Gallant; five great-grandchildren Candice and Thomas Pelletier, Emma and Lilah Massie and Logan Thomas. Predeceased by brothers and sisters Mary, Mathias, Emmanuel, Priscille, Edmund, Della, Henry, Lena, Louis and Arthur. Our mother loved her family dearly. She so enjoyed spending time with us and having a good game of cards. She liked to sing but always loved returning to her beloved Prince Edward Island along with her husband Henry. It brings us comfort now to bring her home for the final time. Many thanks for the years of compassionate care given to our mother at St. Joseph's Nursing Home.
