Angie,Sandy,Tracy and families
My family and I are so very sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved Mom.
Thinking of you and yours at this difficult time.
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Fay Lachapelle, who died peacefully at the Kirkland Lake and District Hospital on Saturday October 11th, at the age of 84, following a sudden illness.
Beloved wife of the late Damien Lachapelle, her life partner and best friend for over six decades, Fay was the heart and soul of her family. Together, they built a beautiful life in their cherished family home, where she lived for more than half a century. Her home was her sanctuary—filled with love, laughter, and countless memories shared with family and friends.
Fay will be deeply missed by her three daughters, Sandy Lachapelle(Turcotte), Angela Lachapelle (Kim Wakeford) and Tracy (Joel) McCartney as well as her sister Sandy Bieber. Loving grandmother to her nine grandchildren, Daina, Bobby, Shawn, Robbie, Jerrid, Jessie, Damien, Morgan and Liam. An adoring great-grandmother to her twelve adorable great grand children. She treasured her family above all else and nurtured those connections throughout her life with the same grace, warmth, and quiet strength that defined her.
A respected professional, Fay enjoyed a long and accomplished career with the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC),where she was admired by colleagues and clients alike for her dedication, professionalism, and kindness. Known for her elegance, impeccable style, and poise, she carried herself with dignity and gentleness that left a lasting impression on all who knew her.
The family extends heartfelt thanks to the Palliative Care Unit of the Kirkland Lake and District Hospital for their exceptional compassion, sensitivity, and support during her final days.
Fay leaves behind a legacy of love, integrity, and beauty—in how she lived, worked, and cared for those around her. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
