James Tickell and Sherri Clark
I am so very sorry for your loss. There are no words that can help during this time. My thoughts are you all.
TICKELL, Melanie
1964 - 2018
It is with great sadness that our family announces the passing of
Melanie S. Tickell
She passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 6th, 2018 at the Gatineau Hospital at the age of 54. Diane Desormeaux graciously arranged a small private memorial held in Gatineau, for her close friends and family Sunday, September 16th, 2018.
Melanie was born August 11, 1964 in Toronto, Ontario, to her mother Sharon Clark and her late father David Tickell. She was the eldest of seven siblings: Amanda Parisien, Melissa Tickell, Jennifer Tickell, Sarah Tickell, James Tickell, Matthew Tickell and her late youngest brother Jonathan Tickell. She worked as a Freelance Photographer and Craftswoman. She donated a lot of her time to helping friends, family and community. Some of her favourite times were spent elbow deep in the community garden, researching anything of interest and sharing her new found knowledge with anyone she thought it would help. She was also quite spiritual and had a strong connection with Hashem through daily prayers.
She is survived by her loving partner Vincent Leduc and her four children: Denee Tickell, Jenna Tickell, Landon Kline and Elijah Tickell-Flowers. She was a kind and loving mother, leita, daughter, sister and she especially cherished her seven grandchildren: Tianna, Tristan, Nicholas, Phylisity, Jack, Anya and Isabella.
She was a gentle soul that always worried about the well being of others. She would gladly give the last of what she had, it if meant it would better a loved ones situation. She tried her best to live each day peacefully and to fill her life, and her loved ones lives, with unconditional love. When the truth is revealed and it's too painful to face, your only refuge is with people who love you. Trust is a fragile thing, it can be gained or lost in an instant, but neither trust nor love nor understanding alleviates the pain of the truth, you can only wait for time to pass, or wounds to heal. Life is a mirror, and life gives us not what we want, life gives us who we are. When she was born she cried while the world rejoiced, now she has lived her life in such a way, that the world cries while she rejoices. Melanie was an extraordinay person, this is no exaggeration, and she has done so much good in her life that we know her spirit is going to a good place. Until we meet again.
