GAUTHIER, Liliane
(1949-2025)
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of Liliane Gauthier at the age of 76, during the late hours of Sunday, October 12th, 2025, in Montreal.
Liliane is survived and will be profoundly missed by her daughter Cassie (Rob), and son Kevin. Grandchildren; Amy (Ivan), Haley (Gregory), Gage, and Brenna. Her siblings; Rose-Marie (Dan), Guy (Janice), Ted (Coleen), Bernadette (Scott). Nieces and nephews; Michael, Kelly (Shawn), Chris, Daniel (Shawna), Lindsay (Mitchell), Robbie (Maeve), Mark (Elyse), Amy (Josh) and John. With a special mention to her family by choice; Jason (Judith) Calvert. She is predeceased by her father Georges Gauthier (Gampy), and mother Kay Hebert (Ganny) and siblings; Gerry, Roger (Phillys), Louise (Ron), and Tom & Glenda Calvert (family by choice).
We are also very grateful for the kind and compassionate care she received from the doctors, nurses, and all of the caregivers at the Montreal CHUM.
Liliane was a gentle and reserved woman who was always quick to smile and often put others first. She was a person of simple needs and simple pleasures. She enjoyed her time with friends and family. A particular perk of each day was her wine-time (a glass of red wine at 5:00). She often spent her time in nature while camping or cycling. A practical creature that excelled at raising two children as a single parent during a time that it was still a rare task to undertake. We never lacked any of the basics and have heart felt memories of summer vacations, Girl Guides & Boy Scouts, science projects and cooking in the kitchen. She had an uncanny ability to find simple solutions to problems. She was an Admirative Assisitant for the NFSB School Board until her retirement and once retired, she flourished and truly found happiness in her well-earned freedom. In her free time, she enjoyed cycling the Montreal Tour de l'Île, camping (Twin Ells) with friends and family (her true happy place), cruises with her sisters, living independently in her own home, and finally completing the renovations that she had longed dreamt of doing. Navigating through life as a low-key prepper for emergencies like; 1971 storm of the century, 1989 Solar Storm, 1998 ice storm and the more recent 2020 pandemic. If there was a need, she would find a way. She always hoped for the best but was prepared for the worst.
To know her was a privilege, and if you knew her, you knew that she had a list for everything and her mantra was always;
Live – Love – Laugh
