la famille et aux personnes concernées
Que ce message vous apporte le témoignage d'une sympathie profonde et sincère.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Diane Larabie, who died on June 9, 2025, at the age of 75. She was predeceased by her beloved parents, Adrienne Plouffe and Georges-Henri Larabie.
She is survived by her husband of 36 years, Pierre Bélanger, and her son Maxime, both of whom she cherished dearly. She also leaves to mourn her sisters and brothers, Rachel (the late Jacques LeSieur), Céline (Robert Lemieux), Paul and Pierre, as well as her much-loved nieces and nephews, her cousins, her sister-in-law Marlène, and many friends and acquaintances.
Born in Hull, Quebec, Diane lived for over thirty years in Northern Ontario and adopted the Franco-Ontarian culture as her own. Her love for the French language and for culture in all its forms held a significant place in her life.
After pursuing higher studies in education, Diane dedicated her life to the transmission of knowledge. Teaching nourished this passion, and her devotion to her students and loved ones never wavered.
Diane was strong and independent: curious, courageous, and bold, she also possessed a great sensitivity and a sharp wit. Her departure will leave a great void in the lives of all who knew her.
A celebration of her life will be held on July 5, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. at the Lac-des-Fées Pavilion of the Coopérative funéraire de l'Outaouais, located at 95 de la Cité-des-Jeunes Boulevard, Gatineau, Quebec. The family will receive condolences starting at 5:30 p.m.
