We Remember
LAGIMODIERE, Mary
January 30, 1927 — January 5, 2026
It is with great love and admiration that we announce the loss of Mary Lagimodiere (née Maria Hoeppner) who passed away on January 5, 2026, in Kelowna, BC.
Mary was predeceased by her parents, Peter P. & Sarah (née Hiebert) Hoeppner; her beloved husband, Raymond Frederich Lagimodiere; and her two sons, Lance Raymond Lagimodiere and Barton Andrew Lagimodiere. She was also predeceased by her 8 siblings: Pete (Margaret Rempel), Hap (Norma Beamer), Sadie (C.D. Falk), Jack (Sadie Schmidt), Henry (Iona LaRoche), Katherine (Jake C. Klassen), Gay (Andy Lagimodiere), and Betty (Svend Jensen), as well as six nieces and nephews.
She is lovingly remembered by her daughter-in-law, Elaine; her cherished grandchildren, Lisa Lagimodiere and Alexander Lagimodiere-Garcia; and her nieces and nephews: Ed Falk, Christine (Falk) Isaak, Henry Falk, Jim Falk, Irene (née Falk) Thiessen, Ken Falk, Brenda (née Falk) Driedger, Pat (née Klassen) Gerbrandt, Brian Heppner, Bonita (née Heppner) Gerlach, Lisa (née Jensen) Gibbins and their families. Family was at the center of Mary’s life, and her care and devotion were felt deeply by all who knew her.
Mary was born on January 30, 1927, in Winkler, Manitoba, to Peter and Sarah Hoeppner. She dedicated many years of her life to public service with the Manitoba government, a career that reflected her strong work ethic and commitment to her community. Mary was blessed with many friendships and was known for her active and joyful spirit. Through her late husband Raymond’s service as a WWII veteran, Mary maintained a strong and meaningful connection to the Legion, where fellowship and remembrance were close to her heart.
With deep love and gratitude, we remember Mary, a remarkable woman whose kindness, wisdom, and warmth touched every life she encountered, and whose faith in God was unwavering.
Though she has left this world, her spirit and beautiful smile will live on in the stories we share. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered always.
