Individual Details

Maria St Hilaire

(2 Aug 1882 - 27 May 1962)

Always smiling, through sad or good times, she gave birth to all her children at home with the help of midwives. After Willy died, she adopted his two young sons Alfred and Arthur and raised them. She moved to British Columbia around 1946 with her grandsons and daughter Irene to live with Paul. Emile took over the farm which he sold and then settled in Hoey, Sask. She died at home in Maillardville, B.C., surrounded by her loving children and some grandchildren.

She always told her children to love one another and said how happy she would be if God would grand her wish to leave her die in peace in her own home. Her strong faith and courageous spirit will always be remembered by her family and the people who knew her.
