My deepest condolences to family and friends! Aunt Gilberte was a classy lady. We had the best times when they came for visits. We loved when she would play her violin and guitar at my mom and dad’s home.

Berte was a wonderful woman. Kind to all. She volunteered for so many years at the Legion in Corunna as a Ladies Auxiliary member and President. Berte represented the Auxiliary always in the most professional way and members looked up to her. Rest in peace Berte, you will be missed.

Our condolences to Berte’s family, especially to Annette and Brian our good friends at the “Bay”. We always looked forward to the stories from Annette and Brian about their latest visit to Corunna or more recently to Sarnia. The games of crib, lunch along the river, lunch at the manor, getting mother’s hair done, the twinkle in Berte’s eye when she bested Brian in a game of cards. Hope our lives will be as rich as Gilberte Lefebvre’s was, again our condolences to the Lefebvre/Ranger families.
