MOLINA “MIN” MCNAUEAL,
2021
Min passed away at the Kirkland & District Hospital on Wednesday, December 24, 2008. Born in 1918 in Parry Sound, Ontario. Predeceased by her parents Marie Gauthier Groulx and J.B. Groulx; brothers Edmond, Joseph and Ted; sisters Viola, Irene, Jay; her husband Elmer and her son Ken. Survived by her brother John (Jack) Groulx and sisters Beatrice “Bea” Goldman and Loretta Kraft. She will be fondly remembered by countless nieces and nephews. Greatly missed by her sons Rodney (Lorraine) and Brett (Rosanna) as well as her daughter-in-law Dawn Rumble and their children Robin, Brandon, Jill, Preston, Blaine, Erin, Tara, Trish, Brett Jr., Kyle, Kori, Jamie, Shawn and Shannon; 15 great grandchildren. Min helped her mother and father and her siblings in the Dairy Business years ago. Her father J.B. Groulx owned and operated Producer’s Dairy in Kirkland Lake and Larder Lake and on their family home in Dane, it was the largest dairy in the area at the time. Min was loved by all who knew her and called Grandma by hundreds. She loved children, nature and did her best to protect all of God’s creation. She was adamant in her beliefs about protecting the environment, and was a vocal advocate on many environmental issues in the area. Min recently celebrated her 90th birthday. This gave her an opportunity to mingle with many friends and loved ones. She related to her family how special this had been to her. It meant so much to her that others would make such a sacrifice. Min was a humble person that shared her love with everyone. She was a strongly devoted member of the Roman Catholic Church and the Holy Name of Jesus Parish. Her love for Jesus, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Saints, Mother Teresa, Pope John Paul and Father Desmond O’Connor immeasurable. It gives her family peace in knowing she is with them all. Min was an avid supporter of many charities, local and elsewhere. She was a gentle spirit, slow to anger and very forgiving. We cannot possibly say how much she will be missed by all who knew her. A tremendous loss not only for her family but for all of Kirkland Lake. A town she loved so much and truly believed in. Family will welcome friends at the MONETTE & FRENCH FUNERAL HOME (450 Government Road West, Kirkland Lake, ON., P2N 3L1) on Monday, December 29, 2008 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be on Tuesday, December 30, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. from the Holy Name of Jesus Parish. Min will be laid to rest in the Spring of 2009. Donations in Min’s memory may be made to the St. Anthony’s Guild.Offer Condolence for the family of Molina “Min” McNaueal
