BRASSARD – Cecile Anita
The family of Cecile Brassard (nee Grimard) is saddened to announce her passing at the age of 92 on Thursday January 14, 2016. Cecile was born in Vonda SK on March 27, 1923. At the age of 12 Cecile moved with her parents and siblings to the homestead in Albertville SK. In 1944 Cecile married Ernest Brassard and together started their future of farming and raising their two sons Paul and Albert.

Cecile worked hard alongside her husband to provide the best life possible for her family. Cecile had a strong connection with her church and faith and believed that one day she would be reunited with past loved ones.
