Terry Linda May Ducharme was born on Wednesday, January 7, 1953 in Cormorant, Manitoba to Raymond Joseph Ducharme and Margaret Doris Ducharme.
Terry was raised between Cormorant and The Pas. She married Marcel Lachance in 1972 and had two daughters Sheri and Ricky Lachance.
Terry was a gentle and kind soul. She cared deeply about the well being of her family. She was a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and big sister.
She will be fondly remembered for her green thumb. Terry would often be seen tending to her many gardens over the years. She showed love by always giving and thinking of others. She was always proud to be cooking for her family and baking with her great granddaughter Scarlett. Terry was so lighthearted and was always laughing. She had such an amazing sense of humor and a unique smile that captured her perfectly. There were many things Terry liked to do like going to the thrift stores and yard sales in the summer and enjoyed going to the casino.
Her whole life she took care of someone. From babysitting in her home to working as a Health Care Aid. She worked at the Rod McGillivary Care Home and St. Paul’s Care home. She will be truly missed by her clients and co-workers.
Terry passed away peacefully in the presence of her daughters, grandchildren, siblings, and other family members, Friday, March 6, 2020, at the Brandon Regional Health Center, Brandon, Manitoba, at the age of 67 yrs.
