Cherished memere of 12 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. Annette was the dear sister of Leo Rousselle Jr. (Pauline), Suzanne Oake (Ford) and Georgette Hiller (Walter-deceased). She will be sadly missed by her nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Predeceased by her parents; Leo and Beatrice Rouselle (nee Bergeron) and by her siblings; Pauline Mantha, Henri, John and Gerard. Mom was the glue of our family! Her quirky sense of humour and her baking will be forever missed. Her joy and passion in life, was simply being a wife, mother and memere- loving, nurturing and kind.
