Widow ODILE LESSARD
Died March 15, 1954
at the age of 78 years
A. L'HEUREUX
Odile Lessard was the sister-in-law of my second great-grandfather, Théophile L'Heureux, and the mother of Rosario L'Heureux from my earlier Tombstone Tuesday post. She was born about 1876 to Louis Octave Lessard and Marie Odile Bilodeau, probably in Saint-Ferréol, Québec, Canada. On November 3, 1896, she married Alfred L'Heureux (1867-1936), whose name appears on the bottom of this stone. They had about 15 children together, but only about 5 of those children tops lived to reach 2 years of age. The first to not die in his infancy was Rosario, who was their sixth child to my knowledge. Odile Lessard, according to this headstone, died on March 15, 1954, probably in Saint-Ferréol-les-Neiges, where she is buried.
