Moon river, wider than a mile. I'm crossing you in style someday. Old dream maker, you heart breaker. Wherever you're going, I'm going your way.

Marcelle van der Walde (née Taché)

1929 - 2025

Moon river, wider than a mile. I'm crossing you in style someday. Old dream maker, you heart breaker. Wherever you're going, I'm going your way.

The river met the sea, quietly in her bed, while outside a snowstorm shrouded the city in white. Marcelle always claimed she was born in a snowbank. Her gentle grace and beauty are already sorely missed. She was a privilege to be near - Adieu la belle Marcelle!

Marcelle was predeceased by her husband (Ully), and siblings Jean (Claire), Yvan (Marie), Bernard (Yolande), Gabby (Audette), Leo (Germaine), Mariette (Yvan). Affectionately known by her grandchildren simply as Mom, she will be deeply missed by her children Ann (Steve), Gail, Rudi, David, Patrick, Tricia (Marc), her grandchildren Mary-Ann, Philip (Annie), Samantha (Brian), Max (Gigi), Vincent and Yan (and their mother Manon), Nicholas (Marilis), Aidan, and her great grandchildren, Samuel, Gabrielle, Adele, Dorothée, and Felix.

The family will receive relatives and friends at the Mount Royal Funeral Complex on Sunday, April 6th, 2025, from 2 to 3 pm. A service will follow at 3 pm and Reception from 4 to 7 pm.

We would like to extend our immense gratitude to the professional team : Connie, Helen, Kayla, Erika, Celeste, and Vassey for their compassionate, loving and exceptional home care, providing our mom with her every need to her dying day.
