💧 NEW AT LAKEVIEW CEMETERY & CREMATION SERVICES 💧

We have received many questions about Aquamation (also known as Water Cremation), and we are pleased to announce that this environmentally conscious option will be available at Lakeview beginning June 1, 2026.

Aquamation uses water, temperature, and gentle circulation to facilitate the natural process of returning the body to its basic elements. Many families choose Aquamation because it is viewed as a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional cremation while still providing the same dignity, care, and respect for their loved one.

Our introductory Aquamation package will be available for $2,399 and includes the professional care and guidance families have come to expect from Lakeview.

For over 140 years, Lakeview has proudly served the families of Sarnia-Lambton with compassionate, affordable, and local death-care services. Our licensed funeral directors are available to answer any questions you may have about Aquamation, cremation, burial, pre-planning, and memorialization services.

Edgar Lebreton “Ed”

December 27, 1938 – May 12, 2026

With sorrow and much love, the family of Ed Lebreton announces his peaceful passing on May 12, 2026, at the age of 87. Beloved husband of Donna Jean since 1961. Lovingly remembered by his daughters Kimberley Ann Cox (Leonard) and Shelley Jean Morton(Christopher). Treasured by his grandchildren Shayne, Katrina, Aaron, Jeremy, Noah and Coda and his great-grandchildren Landen, Chloe, Addison and Liv.

Cherished brother of Gerald, Geraldine, Genevieve and Jennette. Loved brother-in-law to David and Donna Powers.

He will be dearly missed by his neighbours and friends at The Sandpiper.

Ed was predeceased by his parents Alvina and Delphis Lebreton, his siblings Gerald, Geraldine, Genevieve and Jennette, his precious grandson Jeremy Christopher, his brother-in-law David Powers and son-in-law Lenny Cox.

Ed was born in Dalhousie, New Brunswick, working on farms until reuniting with his brother and sisters in Ontario. He eventually settled in Sarnia, building a home and a life with Donna. Sixty-four years filled with roses and memories.

His greatest joy was spending time with his grandchildren…camping, teaching them how to fish, playing cards, board games, and enjoying s’mores around the campfire. So many cherished moments and family memories.

A pipefitter by trade, Ed enjoyed learning Instrumentation and worked well beyond his retirement age. He was a true gentleman and was always available to lend a hand.

Ed was a quiet man, a gentle soul, a man of great faith and prayer. He loved the Lord, he loved the Word and faced life’s challenges through the lens of eternity. Ed found comfort in the promises of God such as 2 Timothy 4:7 “I fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” While we grieve his passing, we have peace that Ed has completed his journey and now rests in the arms of the Saviour, free from pain and sorrow, rejoicing in the presence of the Almighty.

Cremation has taken place and a private family gathering will be held at a later date. Memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Sarnia-Lambton or Down Syndrome Association of Lambton County.

HILLIARD, Glenda
1959 - 2026

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Glenda Hilliard on May 11, 2026, at Bluewater Health in Sarnia, Ontario, at the age of 66.

Born on October 26, 1959, Glenda is now reunited with her beloved husband, Steven Hilliard. She will be deeply missed by her children, Travis, Mallory (Shannon), and Shelby (John). She was a devoted and loving grandmother to Tyler, Abigail, Jaxon, and Isabelle, who brought endless joy to her life. Glenda was also a cherished aunt to many nieces and nephews and a loving sister who will be fondly remembered for her care, loyalty, and support throughout the years.

Glenda will be remembered for her creative spirit, love of crafts, and wonderful sense of humour that could brighten any room. She had a way of making people feel welcome and loved, and her laughter and caring nature will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

A celebration of life will be held on May 30, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at her daughter’s home in Strathroy, Ontario.

Her memory will live on in the hearts of her family and friends forever.

Carmela Montanino (nee Rescigno)

October 26, 1938 – May 4, 2026

Carmela passed away peacefully with all her family around her after a long, hard-fought journey with dementia. While the dementia gradually took away her independence and memories, it never took away her sense of humour, kindness and love of all things Neapolitan, especially the beautiful Neapolitan music that was a big part of her early years.

She is survived by her husband, Frank Montanino, her children Tony (Jennifer) Montanino, Teresa Montanino and Rob (Sandra) Montanino and her grandchildren Milena, Theo, Marcus, Luca, Francesca, Dominique and John. Her brothers Savario (Pasqualina) Rescigno and Felice (Felicetta) Rescigno predeceased her.

Born in Cimitile, Italy, Carmela lived there until she married Frank in October 1967. She courageously moved with Frank to Canada and overcame the immense challenges of building a new life without knowing the language. She worked tirelessly as an entrepreneur, while balancing the demands of raising three children and her hobbies of gardening, cooking, baking and making tomato sauce and wine. She dedicated herself to family and will be remembered for her generosity, warm affection, kindness, humour and the many delicious meals she prepared in her kitchen.

We will be forever indebted to the countless amazing people who supported and cared for Carmela, particularly in the past few years. From the in-home care provided by VON and CarePartners, Dr. David Kim, specialists, personal care workers and nurses, to the incredibly compassionate staff and volunteers at St Joseph’s Hospice for their end-of-life care and support. We will never forget your dedication and kindness.

The family will plan a celebration of life to be announced at a later date. Donations can be made in lieu of flowers to either St. Joseph’s Hospice Sarnia or the Alzheimer Society of Sarnia-Lambton.

HEFFER, Steven Andrew ("Stub")

Steven Andrew Heffer, affectionately known by many simply as “Stub,” passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by the love of his family, after a courageous battle with glioblastoma. Steve will be forever missed by his devoted wife and life partner of 32 years, Christine Heffer, and their two beautiful daughters, Cereena (Taylor) Hall and Mackenzie Heffer, who were the light of his life. Beloved son of Doug and Judy Heffer, and loving brother to Angie (Kyle) Adam. He was also dearly loved by his many uncles, aunts, nieces, and nephew. Steve’s easygoing nature and quick wit will be deeply missed by all who were fortunate enough to call him a friend.

An avid outdoorsman, Steve felt most at home in nature—camping, hunting, and fishing whenever he could. A natural bushman, he had an uncanny eye for wildlife—often seeing it well before anyone else even knew where to look. Some of his most treasured memories were made outdoors—camping in Northern Ontario with his wife and girls, sharing annual hunting trips with his father, and fishing trips up north with his close friend Tony Allan—experiences that meant the world to him.

Steve’s love of baseball led him to become an umpire, a role he proudly held for over 20 years and looked forward to each season. The ball diamond was a place where he felt at home, and he took great pride in being part of the game he loved. When he wasn’t behind the plate, Steve could often be found spending time on the golf course or around the poker table with his buddies.

Steve lived life on his terms—no regrets. He didn’t need much: just the people he loved, his dogs, and a cold bottle of Blue. That was his world—and he wouldn’t have had it any other way.

A celebration of Steve’s life will take place on May 9, 2026, at the Corunna Legion (350 Albert St, Corunna, ON), from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. All who knew and loved Steve are welcome to come together to share memories and celebrate a life well lived. Memorial donations may be made to St. Joseph’s Hospice Sarnia Lambton.

Our family is extremely grateful to our extended family, friends, and both our employers and coworkers for their support. Their kindness helped make the most difficult time in our lives a little easier.

We would also like to express our heartfelt gratitude for the excellent care Steve received from Dr. Orla MacSweeney, his nurse, Mary, and the team at Ontario Health at Home.

Steve, your love, strength, and laughter will remain with us always. You will forever be in our hearts, our thoughts, and our lives.

When families are making difficult decisions, the last thing they should worry about is unexpected extra costs.

One question we often hear is:

"Do you charge mileage fees for cremation?”

At Lakeview Cemetery, the answer is simple: No.

Because we operate our own on-site crematorium, your loved one never needs to be transported out of town. Everything is handled right here in Sarnia, with care, dignity, and professionalism.

Some providers rely on facilities located in places like outside the county, which can result in additional mileage or transportation fees being added to your service.

That’s not how we do things.

✔ No out-of-town transfers
✔ No mileage charges
✔ No surprises

Just straightforward, transparent care—right here at Lakeview.

If you have questions about cremation or pre-planning, we’re always here to help.
