Interment will take place later in privacy.

We also invite you to share your memories with Patricia on the website prepared for this purpose: https://www.mykeeper.com/profile/PatriciaBibeauOdonnell/ Rather than flowers, Patricia wished that your expressions of sympathy take the form of a donation to the Maison Aube-Lumière de Sherbrooke (https://aubelumiere.com/donner/) or to the Rose Des Vents (https://www.jedonneenligne.org/rosedesvents/DG/). Forms will also be available at the complex.

The family would like to thank all the many people who touched Patricia in one way or another. In particular, her long-time friends. Also, all the people with whom she forged ties at her retirement residence, including the staff. The family would also like to acknowledge and thank all the volunteers, attendants, health professionals, nurses, and doctors at the hospital, CLSC, Rose Des Vents and Maison Aube-Lumière. Thanks to them, Patricia was able to keep and share her joie de vivre and enjoy many more happy moments and encounters.
