June 17, 1953 - September 18, 2024
With a huge hole in our hearts and
lives, we announce the sudden passing
of Elaine Boisjoli on September 18, 2024 at
the age of 71 years.
Elaine, formerly of Barrhead, leaves behind her
husband Gerry, her daughter and best friend Loreen
Gomes, son-in-law Mike Gomes, grandchildren
Talia (her angel), Teagan (her super star) and
Tanner (who could always make her laugh).Her family,
of St Albert, will carry on her legacy and memories.
She was predeceased by her dad Peter Oskoboiny in
2008 and mom Elsie Oskoboiny in 2020. She is survived
by her siblings Gary Oskoboiny of Barrhead and Danny
(Vi) Oskoboiny and family of Blue Ridge.
Elaine Boisjoli…
Loving, caring and generous to a fault. Loves flowers,
famous for her cooking and taking care of her family.
Feels compelled to give and give, anxious when she is
the centre of attention, joy filled in celebrating holidays
and birthdays. Sends leftover food or meals with family
and friends, buys too many Christmas presents, always
picks up the phone when Loreen or Talia call. Loved to
see sunshine in May, her famous garden bloom in July
and her grandchildren grow and blossom into adults
through the years. Shared her time, love, gardening and
cooking advice with family and friends. Is intelligent,
hardworking, creative and humble. A tremendous
daughter, a super wife, perfect mom, thoughtful sister,
extraordinary Gram and friend.
As Elaine never liked being the centre of attention,
in lieu of a celebration of life, the family asks that you
remember her in prayer with joy and loving hearts.
If you would like, in lieu of flowers, please make a
donation to a charity of your choice.
