It is with great sadness, we announce the passing of our amazing and beautiful Mother, Edith Ann Oakes-Boivin (née Oakes), at the young age of 90. Born in Westmount, Quebec. Predeceased by her parents, George Oakes, Edith Boucher and her husband, Lieutenant-Colonel Jean Boivin. She is survived by her daughters, Peggy Oakes-Boivin (Captain François Vigneault (Retired)) and Kelley Boivin (Claude Gadoury, Eng), her brother George Oakes, her brother-in-law Serge Boivin, sisters-in-law, Dr Marie Boivin, Lise Boivin Caron and Cécile Boivin Richards, and her many nieces and nephews.

Due to COVID-19, a private burial will take place at the National Military Cemetery at Beechwood Cemetery at Ottawa.  A celebration of her life will be held in her honour at a later date. In lieu of flowers, a donation to Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada would be appreciated.

She was a lovely lady. I truly regret that I will not be able to enjoy her company one more.
My sincere condolences to the entire family.
