In loving memory ~

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our mother Denise Therese Charron (nee: Savard).

Born in Victorie, Saskatchewan March 22, 1935. Mom followed her older sister Carmen to Port Alberni in 1955, where she started working at the original Barclay Hotel as a cook's helper. She met and married our father in 1957 and started her family shortly after. With all her kids in school, Mom went back to work in the early seventies at the Tyee Village Motel as a chambermaid, where she stayed for the next 40 years.

Mom's second marriage was to a man who was a bit of a nomad, having moved to Creston, Parksville, Port Alberni, Errington, and French Creek. After the passing of her husband Mom moved back to Port in 2018. Mom enjoyed her final years with friends and family, and walks on the Dike where she met a whole new group of friends that she cherished.

Mom was predeceased by her parents Thomas & Blanche Savard, sisters Jacqueline Desjardins Bernadette Durette & Carmene Tardif. Husbands Albert Denis & Andy Charron. She leaves her siblings Helene Patenaude, Aurore Jean, Angeline Jean & Tom Savard. Her children Richard (Leah), Gerard, Lena (Rob), Roger (Rodney), Neal (Karen) also 9 grand kids and 5 great grand kids.
