Surrounded by her family, Marie “Blanche” Lucienne Dussault (nee L’Heureux) passed away at the Cut Knife Health Complex, Cut Knife, Saskatchewan on November 21, 2023 at the age of 92 years.  Blanche was born January 5, 1931 into a large and exuberant family who were early homesteaders in the Jackfish Lake area of Saskatchewan.

“Our Mother and Grandmother, Blanche, loved nothing more than a family gathering… a visit or a call from her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Cooking for a family gathering brought her great pleasure and having everyone sit around the table in her kitchen…her secret ingredient was love. She grew abundant gardens harvesting and storing food for her family for the entire winter.”
