Verna (Honey) Anna May Marie Landry (St.Amand)

With heavy hearts, we said goodbye to our loving and beautiful mother on April 24th. She passed away at the Grey Nuns Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta. We are heartbroken and will never be able to fill the void in our lives by any other.

Our mother, Verna was born in Sudbury, Ontario on April 28th,1932. Her childhood was spent in Sudbury, Brit and surrounding area. She married our father, Ernest Raymond Landry in 1949 and they were married for 61 years. They started their lives and family in Red Rock, Ontario. We moved to Lebel-sur-Que’villon, Quebec for a short while. In 1968, we moved to Prince Albert, Saskatchewan where she resided until 2009. In 2009 our parents moved to Grande Prairie, Alberta until her passing.

Later in her life, it was a very big accomplishment when our mother received her driver’s license and started working outside the home as a nurse’s aide. She loved her flower gardening and to spend the summer days in the sun. What was most important was her ability to connect with people. She loved her family fiercely and was loyal, loving kind, gentle and more importantly, forgiving. She had such immeasurable inner strength. She loved her dog Kia and she was her constant companion.

Our father, her husband, Ernest Raymond Landry predeceased her in 2011 and our sister RuthAnn Landry predeceased her in 1995. She was also predeceased by our uncles, her brothers: Peter St.Amand, Morris St.Amand and Art St.Amand. She is survived by our aunts, her sisters: Jacquline Boucher and Gaile Lamour and a brother Wilfred Langley (Sybil). She is survived also by her children: Catherine Berg, Ken Landry (Bev), Rachelle Whitehead (Craig) and Terry Landry-Swenson (Rory). Many grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, September 9th at 2:00pm at the East End Curling Rink, 300-12th Avenue East, Prince Albert. The internment of her ashes to follow the service at Memorial Gardens.
