May 4, 1923 - February 17, 2020
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Mother, Frances Roberge. Fran was survived by her four children, Shae (Richard) Griffith, Lauren Sprague, Thomas Button and Gerald Button; eight grandchildren; eleven great-grandchildren. Fran was predeceased by siblings: Muriel, Clifton, Ina, Genevieve and Margaret.
As a military wife, Fran was fortunate to have lived in five Canadian provinces (some more than once) and thankful that a final posting allowed the family to retire in the Comox Valley. Moms last days were spent doing what she loved as a resident at the Berwick Comox Valley Retirement Community.
Fran loved to dance - starting with dance lessons in her childhood and then teaching others the art and joy of ballroom, tap, clogging, country and square dancing, she was happiest on the dance floor. Music was an important part of Mom's life and her lovely singing voice contributed to church choirs and musical groups everywhere she lived. In recent years, Fran enjoyed participating in the Evergreen Seniors choir and the Berwick Comox Valley choir. Fran's family would like to thank both the staff and residents of Berwick Comox Valley for their friendship and support to our Mother over the past eight years. In accordance with Fran's wishes, cremation has taken place and a private family gathering will take place at a later date.
The family would like to say a special thank you to Elizabeth Taylor at Piercy's Mt. Washington Funeral Home for the compassionate care and support given to our family during a difficult time.
