1944 – 2024 

It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of our mother, Clara Fouillard. 

True to character, even that morning Clara was out working in her yard and doing the things that she loved most. She definitely was listening to birds sing and tending to her flowers. In the years after the passing of her husband, Ben, she showed much strength and growth, traveling often and embarking on new adventures. 

She was full of life and enjoyed being in Airdrie with Jaidyn and family and found a new love with puppy Leo. She competitively played crib with Dale, card games with friends, and she enjoyed traveling with Marta. Clara was a woman of faith and an active member of the church. She was also a member of Kamloops Adult Learners and was well-read with current events. She enjoyed reading biographies and watching Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy daily. Afternoons included talking to her sisters, Denise, Ina, and Lorraine on the phone and messaging dear friends, like Therese. 

You could always expect home-baked goods when you came over, a perfectly clean home, and music to be playing.
Clara’s favorite place in the evening was the gazebo that our dad built. 

Clara is survived by her children: Jacqueline (Dale) Millette and Desmond Fouillard; grandchildren: Jaidyn, Quinten, Xander, Jenna, and Cody. Clara is predeceased by her loving husband, Benoit Fouillard. 

You are so missed and loved.
A light has gone out of our lives, but the love you gave will shine forever. 

A Memorial Service will be held at St. John Vianney Parish in Westsyde on Friday, June 7 at 11:00 a.m. Interment to follow at Hillside Cemetery.
