IN MEMORIAM
Wif Lesperance
August 27, 1939 - April 6, 2020
It is with sadness that we acknowledge the passing of our dear Auxiliary sister, "Wif" Lesperance.
Wilfredine "Wif" (Chiasson) Lesperance passed peacefully on Monday, April 6, 2020 ending a brave battle with cancer. She enjoyed golf and crafting. She would crochet during every free moment. Her real passion, however, was line dancing. “Wif” taught line dancing four or five nights a week, choreographing songs to fit her classes to the delight of all. Her vibrant smile and contagious laugh will surely be missed by many.
She and her husband Dick had lived in Florida since the early 2000's. She is pre-deceased by her parents Marguerite (Shomph) and Rene’, sisters Norma and Rachelle (McIntyre), brother-in-law Jimmy Holland and her husband, Dick Lesperance. Wilfredine is survived by her sister Maureen (Holland), sister Emily (Casedy) and husband Lee, brother-in-law Rod McIntyre, and sister Theresa along with nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews. Wif also leaves dear friend Joyce Brown, to whom her sisters owe a world of love and gratitude for always being there for her.
A memorial service will be held in Port Orange, FL later this year. In lieu of flowers, Wif’s sisters ask that you pay kindness forward and hold each other closer in your hearts during these trying times.
