ROY-LALANDE, Marinette
1933 - 2020
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Marinette Roy-Lalande on January 12, 2020, at the age of 86. She was the daughter of Corinne Martel-Roy and Louis-Olivier Roy of Sainte-Anne des Monts in Gaspésie. Marinette leaves her husband Roch Lalande, her children Jean (Danielle Boyer), Dominique (Bob Brunet) and Sophie (Sylvain Angers), her grandchildren Marie-Camille (Nathan Lemphers), Simon (Alison O’Reilly), Émilie (Giancarlo Zeni), Olivier (Audrey Robertson), Victor and Coralie, and her great-grandsons Jude and Dominic. She was predeceased by three of her brothers Charles-Eugene, Gaston and Louis-Joseph, and leaves behind her brothers Jacques (late Sylvia Akerlind-Roy), Yves (Caro Leman), Paul (Marcienne Lévesque) and many nephews and nieces.
Art in all its forms was Marinette’s passion in life. She contributed to the advancement of the Franco-Ontarian and Franco-Canadian culture through her involvement with ACFO (Association of francophone communities of Ontario), CIDC (Interprovincial council for the promotion of culture) and the Ontario Arts Council.
