KNIGHT, Marie (nee Blondeau)

Marie Knight (nee Blondeau)

We honour the life of our cherished and beloved Mother, Marie Knight, who passed in her 101st year, lovingly surrounded by her “girls”, on Thursday, September 15, 2022 in Kitchener, Ontario.  

Dedicated to family, Marie lived life on her own terms.  Any room she walked into lit up and when there was laughter, she was in the centre of it.

A proud Metis veteran and the last elder of the historic, Blondeau family that spans the province of Ontario, Western Canada and the USA, Marie will be deeply missed by 4 daughters, Phyllis Bayley, Valerie Inksetter, Leslie Stanley (David), Lindsay Knight (Lloyd Woods) and so many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends of our family who have been touched by Marie over her extraordinary lifetime.  

We take great comfort in knowing that Marie is reunited with our father, Kenneth John, whom she called her oldest friend; her mother and father, Virginia and Jean Louis; her sister Clare; her brothers Johnny and Bert; and her best friends Laura and Eli Daigle.  

Marie was the oak tree of our family, and her legacy of love and strength will be cherished and sustained.  Our mother’s beautiful smile and calm energy invited you to sit with her and allow the stress of the world to fall away.  

Thank you to the incredible staff at Lanark Heights Long Term Care for their loving support of mom this last year of her life.  You became part of our family and grieve with us.  

A celebration of Marie’s life will follow and be announced.  Thank you to all who have reached out with blessings and love for our family.  We are most grateful for your kindness.
