Frances Lafontaine's Obituary
ELLENBURG DEPOT---
Our beloved mother, Frances B. (LaValley) LaFontaine, 96, passed away on September 22, 2016 at the home of her daughter, Karen, with her loving family by her side. She was born in Mooers Forks on February 22, 1920, the daughter of Oliver and Julia (Williams) LaValley.
Frances loved to sew, play bingo, and grow her flowers. Watching the birds and taking country rides to look for wildlife was a great enjoyment for her. The greatest pleasure in our mother's life was cooking huge meals during the holidays for all of her children to come together. Most recently, Frances was proud to celebrate six generations of her family with the birth of her first great-great-great-granddaughter.
Those left behind to cherish her memories include her children, Shirley Taylor, Margaret Spoor, Richard "Dick" Manor and his wife Leona, Manya Dupree, Hilda DeCoste, Susan Spoor and her husband Melvin, Donald Manor and his wife Jane, Karen Begore and her companion Alan Genereux, Brenda Rabideau, Mike Manor and his wife Janet, and Shelley LaBombard and her husband Ronnie; daughters-in-law, Cynthia Rowe and Alma Trippi; son-in-law, Billy LaCount; 44 grandchildren; 76 great-grandchildren; 33 great-great-grandchildren; and one great-great-great-granddaughter.
Frances was predeceased by her first husband, Fred Manor; second husband, Harold "Bunny" LaFontaine; sons, Glenn "Bub" Rowe and David Manor; daughter, Kathleen "Midge" LaCount; sons-in-law, Phillip Taylor, Louis "Buddy" Dupree, Ronald Spoor, and Maurice DeCoste; grandson, Darcy Manor; and great-grandsons, Landon Rabideau and Patrick Drown.
Funeral services will be private and held at the convenience of the family. Entombment will take place in Whispering Maples Memorial Gardens in Ellenburg Depot.
Donations in her memory may be made to the Elmore SPCA.
