Obituary of Olive Lorrette Garand

Olive Lorrette Garand (nee Robin) It is with great sadness that we announce Mom's passing on Tuesday evening August 29, 2017 at the age of 83. Olive will be lovingly remembered by her husband Paul of 65 years, their children; Dennis (Linda), Robert (Gloria), Allan (Brenda) and Lyle (Laury). She will also be sadly missed by her eight grandchildren: Danielle (Andrew), Ryan (Amanda), Christopher (Ingrid), Brianne (Rocky), Karlee, Joel (Arijana), Chauntel (Brent) and Kevin; six great grandchildren: Nolan, Caden, Teagan, Kaitlyn, Aubrey and Caleb; brothers George, Oliver, Leon, brother-in-law Norman Reidt, and sister-in law-Marie Robin. Also, along with many nieces and nephews. Pre-deceased by her parents, Arthur and Marie Ann Robin, and siblings Paul, Therese, Emilien, Lucille, and Rita. Olive would always greet everyone who visited with a friendly smile and a great sense of humor. She was a loving wife and mother to four rambunctious boys. A farm girl at heart with her youth spent riding horses and caring for animals domestic or wild. Off the farm she continued her love with pets of all kinds; cats, dogs, ducks, squirrels, crows, rabbits and everything in between. An avid dancer, especially at the Good Shepard retirement home where she was always excited to attend dance and music functions. Residents of the home lovingly nick named her "Cha Cha Cha". A very special thank you to Linda and all of the staff at the Good Shepard. Also thank you to Parkland Ambulance, Victoria Union Hospital and the Neurology Department at the Royal University Hospital.
