In Loving Remembrance
Sheila Maxine Reymer (nee Gunn) grew up on her family’s farm near Sangudo, Alberta, where she especially loved riding and working with horses. She later moved to Edmonton, married Armand (Moe) Corriveau and raised four children.
After Moe’s death, Maxine took up square dancing as part of her recovery, and danced into the arms of William (Bill) Reymer. They first met at a jamboree in Calgary and again later in Penticton. In 1987 they married and Maxine moved to 100 Mile House, where she began an new and exciting chapter of life.
Over the next 25 years, she loved and was loved by seven children and step-children, their mates, and their growing families, as well as her dozens of friends around the Edmonton and Cariboo regions. Maxine enjoyed square dancing, loved camping and fishing, and was an avid card player, especially enjoying cribbage.
Throughout her life Maxine carried her faith quietly within, passing away as she had lived, with cheerful determination, and a deep confidence in the loving grace of God.
Maxine is survived and greatly missed by her husband Bill, and her children Tony (Debbie) Reymer, Mary (Don) Thibeault, Elsie (Jack) McDonald, Sandra McGinnis, Grant (France) Corriveau, Carolyn (Taylor) Corriveau, Shelley Corriveau as well as her 15 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren.
The family wishes to extend their thanks to Dr. Klopper, Dr. Geerts, the nurses and staff at 100 Mile Hospital and the ladies of Hospice for their kindness and care. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the 100 Mile Hospice Society.
