LACROIX, Rita Marie
At the age of 92, Rita peacefully passed away at her residence with family by her side
on Saturday, August 12th, 2023.
Loving mother of her son Guy (Susie).
Predeceased by her loving husband Richard Roland Lacroix, her cherished daughter
Marilyne McDonald, and daughter-in-law Jackie Hedges.
Adored Grand-Mama of René (Jess), Jovette Carey (Dave) and Mason McDonald
(Zyniesha). Great grandmother to Leia, Sophie, Abbey, Maverick, Malcolm, and
Maddox.
Rita is predeceased by her siblings; Roland, Marie-Anna, Alice, Leo, Yvonne, and
Cécile.
She was a strong pillar of the French community in Oshawa and a lifelong parishioner of
Paroisse Assomption de Notre-Dame. As such, she was professionally and personally
devoted to her Francophone family.
She had an incredible sense of humor, wisdom and sharp wit, as well as an undeniable
“Joie de Vivre” that brought a smile to everyone around her. She loved singing, and her
beautiful voice could be heard loud and clear on many occasions.
You will be missed, but we will forever remember your parting words proclaiming
“Ma vie est complète”. You lived every day to the fullest, well done!
