It is with profound sadness that the family of Marie Jacqueline Luce Eberts (née Polard) announce her sudden passing on March 19, 2021 at the age of 82 years. Luce was predeceased by her loving husband Edward; their son David; her parents Nicholas and Madeleine Polard; and siblings Charles, Roseline, Marcel, Monique, Remi, Michel, Claude, and Christiane. Luce will be fondly remembered by her siblings Genevieve, Jacques, Madeline and Jean; her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren; and numerous well-loved nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and many treasured friends.
Luce was born on September 20,1938 in Leoville, Saskatchewan. She graduated from school in 1956 and became a nurse. Rumour has it, after playing hard to get and turning down his first marriage proposal, she married her great love Edward Frank Eberts in Chamberlain, Saskatchewan on June 25, 1960. They were blessed with five children, sixteen grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren who added to their love story for the ages.
She was a devout Catholic who was heavily involved in the community, a long-time member of the Catholic Women's League (CWL), volunteering her time through the church. Every Sunday you could find her leading the choir with a voice that lifted your spirits the moment you heard it.
She loved to sing and dance, she never cared who was watching.
Her hobbies included teaching ceramics, sewing, crocheting, baking, gardening and holding onto everything that was ever dear to her. She enjoyed fashion, always looking her best and being the loudest one in the room. Luce and Ed travelled many miles visiting friends and family every chance they could.
She will be remembered as a fun, out-going, outspoken, strong, and loving matriarch who was always willing to help someone in need. She always rooted for the underdog and advocated for the less fortunate. If ever you asked Luce for help, she was there.
Private family graveside service will be held on Saturday, March 27, 2021 at 1:00 p.m. Please understand, due to recent Covid-19 restrictions the service will be invitation only. The service will be available through livestream at: https://www.whitetailfilms.net/luce
