Obituary of Hilda Duquette
Duquette, Hilda Barbara ( nee Condie)
It is with heavy hearts that the family of Hilda Duquette announce her
passing at the Mattawa General Hospital on Sept. 19, 2024 in her 94th year.
Predeceased by her husband Ernest Duquette, son Jerry (late Sue),
grandsons Terry and Darcy Cook, brothers Truman and Clarence (late
Giselle). Loving mother of Emmett (Lynn), Grace, Don, Dale (Wayne),
Fern, Carmen (Karen) and Morris. Proud grandmother of 14 grandchildren
and 15 great grandchildren. Survived by brother Harold and sisters Vernice
(Donat), Meryle (late Alvin) and Gail (late Ed). Greatly loved by many nieces
and nephews.
Mom was a proud lifetime member of the W.I. and enjoyed many outings
with her lady friends. She was an excellent seamstress and known for the
beautiful quilts she created by hand. Her baked beans and homemade
bread were a special treat. Mom was especially thrilled to spend time
travelling with her sisters, brother in law and nieces. She loved telling
everyone that she travelled to Hawaii, Ireland, Paris, London and many
other places.
We wish to express our gratitude to the amazing hospital staff for the
wonderful care Mom received. Special thank you to Dr. Woodcock.
