Nicole Marie Rioux
March 24, 2021
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear family member and friend Nicole Marie Rioux on March 24, 2021 at the young age of 56.
Nicole unexpectedly passed away peacefully at the Regina General Hospital surrounded by her loving family her son Chris, spouse Terry, mom Anne Marie, brother Denis, sisters Lianne (Jeff) and Michelle in B.C. via FaceTime and long-time friend Christiane. Her passing left behind many others to mourn and cherish her memory her stepdaughter Hope (Christopher), stepson Ty (Alex), step-granddaughters Emma-Lou, Aurora and Yorke, nieces Amanda and Arielle, nephews Anthony and Guytan, many aunts, uncles, cousins, step-in-laws and friends. Nicole was predeceased by her Papa Laurent; Grand-père and Grand-mère Rioux and Grand-papa and Grand-maman Denis.
Nicole was a proud and amazing mother first and foremost. As the eldest of four siblings, she spent her life nurturing and loving family and friends. Nicole spent over 20 years working in the Saskatchewan Francophone Community. She had spent the last 10 years working for the Federal Government. Her loving spirit and dedication will be deeply missed and remembered by all.
A service will be held later followed by the burial of her ashes in the St. Denis Cemetery, St. Denis, Saskatchewan. We look forward to a day when we can gather with family and friends to remember and celebrate the life of our beloved Nicole. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Nicole’s memory to the Canadian Liver Foundation, the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation, the MS Society of Canada or the Regina Souls Harbour Rescue Mission.
