Adrienne was the second of six children born to Maurice and Helen. She received her schooling at Ste. Marie School until grade eight, and then stayed home to help tend to the family farm.  

She married Marcel on June 16th 1956. They welcomed Brian the following summer and Shelley spring of 1962. They farmed by Bruxelles until 1964 when they purchased their farm east of Baldur.

Adrienne enjoyed gardening and preserving vegetables, planting flowers and swapping perennials with friends. She sowed, loved baking bread and making braided mats and pot holders for her family.  

Her and Marcel liked taking day trips to the states and the train or bus to British Columbia to visit family. They went to the Black Hills with Shelley and friends and also enjoyed bus trips to Shooting Star Casino in Minnesota. Her and good friend Mary hopped the bus to Branson and Nashville in the late 90's and had a wonderful adventure together. 

Adrienne loved her family and was always so happy when we stopped in for a visit and get togethers around the holidays. Her first few questions always were "are you hungry?" and "should we have a drink?" 

A Private Family Graveside Service will be held on Monday, June 9, 2025 at the Baldur Cemetery with Sharon Hamilton officiating.  In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Baldur Endowment Fund (cheques payable to the R.M. of Argyle), Box 40, Baldur, MB or the Baldur Personal Care Home, Box 128, Baldur, MB, R0K 0B0.
