Clementine was a remarkable woman who lived a full and rewarding life. She had a distinguished 25-year teaching career at St. Finbarr’s and St. Brendan’s schools in Montreal’s Rosemont district and was able to provide her students with a positive and loving environment with which to commence their grade school journey. Clementine was also active in Montreal’s Polish community in many volunteer roles throughout her life. In retirement, she pursued her hobbies of needlepoint, knitting and baking as well as traveling the world with her dear Walter.

Above all Clementine will be remembered by her family as a bedrock in providing unwavering care and support in a tireless manner. She was always there for us and we cherished her boundless enthusiasm and encouragement of our endeavours. Clementine was a good person, a kind person, and a friend to all. May she rest in peace.
