In memory of
Mary Hall
May 11, 1924 – May 17, 2019 - 95 years old
Marie Sexton (nee Mary Hall) was born in Cascapedia, Qc. on May 13, 1924. She
passed away peacefully on Friday, May 17, 2019, at Centre Renaissance in
Gatineau, Qc.

A consummate mother and caregiver, Marie devoted her life to the service of
others. Her immediate and extended family and friends were very fortunate to
have her in their lives.

Marie had an unwavering faith in God. The tragedies in her life may have shaped
her, but she didn’t let those define her. She could have lived in grief and
despair, but instead she continued to care for and bring joy to others throughout
her life. She was an exemplary pillar of strength and courage for her children as
she very quietly nurtured everyone she loved.

Marie is survived by her children Nancy (Chris), Wayne (Claire), Jane (Dave),
Karen, and Joyel (George), her 13 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. She is
also survived by her brothers Arvil (Opal), Richard (Dorothy), Raynold, and Irby
(Gayle). Marie was predeceased by her husbands, Alex Nellis and Norman Sexton,
by her brothers William (Billy), Vincent and Everett and by her sisters and best
friends Lillian, Alice, and Lorraine.

Celebrations with her family brought immense joy to Marie throughout her life,
the last being her 95th birthday party one week before her death.
The family will receive friends on Friday, May 31, from 7:00 – 9:00 PM at Henri
Thibodeau Funeral Home in New Richmond. A funeral service celebrating her life
will be held on Saturday, June 1 at 1:00 pm at St. Jules Parish for one final get
together in her honour.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Mental
Health Association or the Breast Cancer Society of Canada or the charity of your
choice.

Best regards to our cousins Nancy, Wayne, Jane, Karen and Joyel and your families. Aunt Marie was such a nice lady: kind, understanding, generous and courageous. Mom really appreciated her weekly phone conversations she had with her when she lived in Montreal. It's comforting to know she died peacefully. Love from your Aunt Laura's family

Message from Marie-Claire May 31, 2019

It is a sad moment for you all, Nancy, Wayne, Jane, Karen and Joel, your children, the brothers-law and so many friends. The presence of your mother for so many years was a privilege I am sure you appreciated. She will continue to take care of you and be a first class guardian angel.

We, Marie-Claire (Gaston), Eric, Paul and Dean, offer you our sincere condolences and friendship. May the Lord bless you and give strength and health for the times ahead.
