Maurice Eugene Joseph Lafreniere

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Maurice Lafreniere, affectionately called "Uncle Mo" by his numerous nieces and nephews on Monday, July 15, 2024.

Maurice is survived by his two children, Monique (Terry) and Marcel (Lori), two grandchildren Meghan and Ashley (Cash), and three great-grandchildren ages five and under. He is also leaving behind his devoted partner Ursula, who without her constant attention, would have gone through life much lonelier.

He started with Green Shield in Winnipeg, MB, being transferred to Behlen, until he separated from his wife Marie, and moved to Calgary, AB, where he joined Shannihans. Maurice continued to live in Calgary after retiring from Shannihans.

There were many great times with family and friends, be it at Oak Lake at the trailer or travelling to visit. My Dad was a cat with many, many lives and we are lucky to have had him in our lives so long.

In the past few years, each time he was ill we thought that might be the last time we would see him, but yet once again he would surprise us and rally back. We will so miss having you in our lives. You have been fighting for so long you deserve to rest. Be at Peace.

Donations may be made in Maurice's name to the Alberta Cancer Society at https://albertacancer.ca/  or the Lung Society at https://ablung.ca/.  

A Memorial Service will be held at Evan J. Strong Funeral Services South (5502 2 Street SW) on Saturday, July 27, 2024, at 1:00 p.m., with a reception to follow.
