It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mom, Claudette (Drouin) Ryan on February 1, 2025 at the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance at the age of 86.

Mom was born in Wendover, Ontario to Lucien and Rose-Mai Drouin and grew up in Gatineau, Quebec on the family farm where many family memories were created.

She is survived by her children Dan (Brenda) Ryan and Brenda (Dave) Pollard.  Cherished Nana to Troy (Dominique), Tanner (Chloe), Roen, Sawyer, Jolene, Jackie, Justin, Amelia and April.  Great Nana to her sweet little boy Chase.

She was predeceased by her husband Francis (2016).  She is survived by her sisters Rose-Mai Maisonneuve, Estelle Mongeon, her brother-in-law John Ryan, sisters -in-law Joan Hogan and Millie Ryan and many nieces and nephews.

As per Mom’s wishes, there will be no service and cremation will take place.  Mom’s final wishes will be carried out at a later date.

We would like to thank the paramedics, the doctors and nurses in the CKHA-Emergency Room, Dr Trinh and Dr. Karatela for her care.  An extra special thanks to the nurses in ICU for your care and compassion and Dr. Tran for making her comfortable in her final moments.

Reposez en paix Maman, nous t’aimons

My deepest condolences to the family and friends! No words can take away the sadness and pain that you feel in this moment. However, as time passes, hopefully you’ll find peace and comfort in your life. I really loved your Mom, she was a wonderful person. I will cherish the memories that I had with her forever.

I’m so sorry for your loss. My first memories of Claudette was when I was around four years old. She lived with our family for a short time in Frobisher Bay. It was as if I had two moms! In these last few years, it was only through Facebook that we occasionally made contact but I always felt that connection we made so long ago.

I was heartbroken to hear about the loss of your mom. I will always cherish beautiful memories of Tante Claudette. Deepest condolences from my family to yours.
