OBITUARY MARCELLE KURTZ (nee GAGNON) Marcelle Therese Ruth Kurtz, affectionately known as Marcie, passed away peacefully on October 2, 2009 after a prolonged illness with her family by her side in her lifelong home of St. Lambert, Quebec. She was in her eighty-fourth year. A devoted wife and dedicated mother, Marcie is survived by Jack, her beloved husband and soulmate of sixty-four years. She will be sorely missed by her four children Terry (Margaret), Kim (Liz), Karen (Pierre) and David (Monica). "Bubbi" will also be remembered lovingly by her grandchildren Jennifer, Sara, Kelly-Anne, Jessie, Kaylee, Melanie, Stephanie and Syreena, as well as by her great-grandchildren Brandon, Ryan and Noah. Marcie was born February 20, 1925 in Montreal to the late Rodolphe Gagnon and Diane Fournier. She was the eldest of seven children and will be mourned by Albert, Pierrette, Rolande, Carole and Carl. She is predeceased by brother Maurice. Marcie was a real trendsetter, proving that you can successfully balance family, friendships and business. During a successful career that spanned several decades, she became known as an accomplished entrepreneur in the real-estate and retail industries, yet her proudest achievement was creating a loving family with strong ties to the local community and Montreal. Marcie could accomplish anything she set her mind to do. She was a loving and generous person who touched many peoples' lives. She was also a woman of great faith with a passion for life.
