Patricia “Pat” Forget peacefully passed at the Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre on Saturday, May 13, 2023 at the age of 89.
Daughter of the late Charles William Journeaux and Elsie (née Martin).
Beloved wife to Jacques Forget. Loving mother to son Michael Forget (Linda), and daughter Claudine Benoit (Claude). Cherished grandmother to Tyler, Caitlin, and Theodore, and great-grandmother to Peyton and Gauge.
Pat leaves behind her brother David Journeaux (Irene), and is predeceased by her sisters: Margaret Barnes, Barbara Audrain, Christine Allen, and Marilyn Journeaux. She also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, great-nephews, and great-nieces in Canada and the United Kingdom.
She was born in Jersey Channel Islands. Her family lived through the five-year German occupation during the Second World War and she was eleven years old when the island was liberated May 1945.
She lived life to the fullest with Jacques by her side. They met as teenagers through ballroom dancing and competed together. They immigrated to Canada in the late 1950s. She had a great sense of humour, a passion for cooking, was an animal lover, had a love for the written word, travel, and the sea. A strong swimmer, she was always the first one in the water, spent many summers at their cottage, and loved her hot cups of tea.
She will be remembered and missed by her family and friends.
