QUESNELLE, Marie Gabrielle (Lesperance)

Passed away peacefully at Hospice Huronia on June 17th 2025 at the age of 93 years. Beloved wife of Lionel Quesnelle. Marie is survived by her children Theresa (Jim Trace), Clement (Gayle Quesnelle), Martin Quesnelle, Mary (Jeff Carpenter), Joseph Quesnelle, Roseanne Quesnelle, Anita (Thomas Stahl), Tina (Clayton Chapman), James Quesnelle (Sandra) and predeceased by her daughter Helen Quesnelle. Marie leaves behind 22 grandchildren, 34 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandchild.

Marie was born and raised in Lafontaine. After marrying Lionel, they purchased a farm in rural Midland. Raising ten children on a farm, Marie was no doubt a hard-working farm wife. Marie had a passion for vegetable gardening. She found fulfillment from planting seeds in the spring to harvesting the last of her crop from the garden in the fall. Days before her passing, she shared her knowledge on the importance of soil temperature before planting tomatoes.

May she rest in peace.

A memorial service will be held at St. Patrick’s Church in Perkinsfield on Tuesday, July 8, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. with interment to follow.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to Hospice Huronia would be appreciated by the family.
