In Loving Memory Of

It is with saddened hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved, Marie-Josée Roussety (née Jolicoeur), on November 30, 2024, at the age of 84. She entered into the presence of the Lord after living with Alzheimer’s Disease for several years.

A faithful servant of God, Marie-Josée leaves us a sincere and loving person whose kindness was certainly felt by others.

Marie-Josée was born on May 26, 1940, in Rose Hill, Mauritius. Known for her love of books from a young age, she carried this passion into adulthood and used it to inspire her dreams. She worked for fifteen years in the travel industry at Rogers & Co. Ltd., eventually being promoted to Chief Sales Officer in 1979 before moving to Canada in December 1980. She and her husband, Clement, lived in North York, Scarborough, Whitby, and Oshawa, sharing many wonderful years traveling to warm, sunny destinations. She also loved hosting large family gatherings, always making room for everyone.

Marie-Josée will be lovingly remembered by her husband of fifty years, Clement; her children Didier (Tammy), Jean-Yves (Linda), Catherine (Gabriel), and Christopher (Tijana); her nine grandchildren, Natalie, Annick, Stephan, Valerie, Marc, Andrew, Sean, Leila, and Julien; and great-grandson Liam. She is survived by her sister Edwige and predeceased by her parents Annette and Iders, as well as her siblings Myriam, Sydney, and Max.

Her infectious laugh, generosity, and affectionate personality will be greatly missed by all.

The Memorare:

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known
that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help,
or sought thy intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence
I fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To thee do I come,
before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
