Obituary of Madeleine Repski

REPSKI, Madeleine Marie August 10, 1932 – December 30, 2016 It is with heartfelt sorrow that we share the passing of Madeleine Repski (nee Croteau) on December 30, 2016 at the age of 84. Madeleine found her life’s work and passion as a school teacher; French and English were her forte. Madeleine was an avid reader who challenged the Edmonton Journal crossword every day. She loved gardening and shared her love of animals with her children and grandchildren. Madeleine was first and foremost a mother to her daughters: Catherine (Kendall) Freed, Joyce Boon and Denise (Doug) Drake. She is survived by her brother Paul Croteau; grandchildren: Alyshia Freed (Richard Harris, fiancé), Amanda Boon, Kyle (Dianne) Boon and children Levan and Haines, Shannel Boon and children Athena, Serenity and Jayce; along with many nieces and nephews, their families and her friends. Madeleine was predeceased by her husband Roman and grandson Tyler Roman Boon; her sisters Lorraine (Eric) Haywood and Pauline (Len) Formanski; her sister-in-law Suzanne Croteau and parents Robert and Yvonne (Fortin) Croteau. A Memorial Mass will be held with Rev. Luan Vu, on Thursday, January 5, 2017 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Martin of Tours Roman Catholic Church, 5437-43 St, Vegreville AB. As an expression of sympathy, please consider a donation to the Vegreville Manor, 5913-49 St, Vegreville, AB T9C 1X4 or the Vegreville Public Library, Box 640, Vegreville, AB T9C 1R7. We wish to extend a genuine thank you to all Madeleine’s caregivers.
