Lemire Sisters

Here is a picture of two Lemire sisters (about 1940-50). The sister on the left I assume is Amanda (Dupont). The other sister living at that time was Florida Maria, who was a that time a Nun. The sister on the right is Beatrice Evangeline.

Their parents were Zacharie Lemire and Marie Louise Pepin. Zacharie and Marie had 12 children-6 boys and 6 girls. Amanda was the second born, while Beatrice was the youngest.

Grandma Beatrice "Mere" was married to Harvey Vernon Brockway in 1918 (Letellier, Manitoba, Canada) and had three children; Frank, Leo, and Pearl. In 1959, Mere married George Oliver Woodford in Salt Lake City, Utah. Mere died in November 1985.

I remember Mere as short and thin (a petite 4' 9"), having a french-canadian accent and an amazing positive approach to everything. Grandpa George loved her very much. Mere had a three foot tall doll. I remember my sister wanting to play with it. Grandpa George gave it to her after he found out that she had never had a doll of her own.

Thanks to Frank Brockway, we have now an audio history of Mere in MP3 format to download to hear some of her memories.
