CTÉ, Pierrette “Pete” - Oct. 15, 1934 - Nov. 7, 2007. It is with great sadness the family of Pierrette “Pete” Cté announces her death on Nov. 7, 2007, after a courageous battle with a lengthy illness. Pete was happiest when her loving family and friends were close by, and she slipped away as they kept vigil by her side while singing her favourite songs. Pete is survived by her devoted brothers and sisters: Paul Cté (Juliette), Terry Whitton (Norm), Luke Cté (Annette), Frankie Morandin (late Guido), Marc Cté (Annette), Madeleine McTavish, Jeannine Foran (Ralph) and sister-in-law Colombe Cté. She was predeceased by her parents Omer and Marie Cté and her brother-in-law Guido Morandin. Pete also leaves behind many nieces and nephews of whom she was extremely proud and loved dearly. She adored her nieces' and nephews' children and beamed with pride when in their presence and when she spoke of them. Pete will be deeply missed by her close circle of friends. Pete touched the lives of all who knew her. She was a loyal sister and friend and was never one to miss out on the fun. She was quick to respond to anyone who needed her help and would give willingly and without hesitation. Pete worked tirelessly all her life. She was an employee of the Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union in Kapuskasing before opening and working at Jen Lang Shoppe with her sisters for more than 30 years. She also worked for Morandin Dry Cleaning and, after retiring, was happy to give her time and attention to the children at École Sacré-Coeur where she worked daily yard duty. Pete always stayed busy and loved to be with people. She was very active within her church and was a long-time member of the McIntyre Curling Club and the Porcupine Dante Club Ladies Auxiliary. She will be missed by her friends in her investment group, poker and bridge clubs and breakfast club. The family is very grateful to Bayshore nurses Tania, Jennifer and Liz for the tender care provided to Pete. Special thanks to Dr. Gillies and Judy and Sharon in the oncology department at Timmins and District Hospital. As an expression of love and friendship for Pete, donations to the Timmins and District Hospital Foundation or the Lord's Kitchen would be gratefully appreciated. Visitation will be held Friday, Nov. 9, from 2- 4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. at Maison funéraire Lessard-Stephens Funeral Home, 21 Elm St. S., Timmins. Funeral services will take place Saturday, Nov. 10, at 9 a.m. at Paroisse Saint-Joseph, corner of Eyre Boulevard and Jubilee Avenue East. Interment will follow at Timmins Memorial Cemetery.
