So sorry for your loss, Monica was such a great lady, always smiling and happy. Going to Kenogami Kitchen for breakfast was great and then had lunches there. She will be missed and my heart goes out to the family. Thinking of you all. May Monica rest in peace. Hugs to all Joanne

I love Monica so much, she kindled the flame of passion I have for cooking great food for family and friends. I remember partying into the wee hours of the morning with Kim and Tracey one night. Needless to say when Monica came to pick me up for work at the crack of dawn, I was oblivious to the world. She crawled through my kitchen window and dragged me to the restaurant. I was in no condition to learn or be of ANY use to her so in true Monica fashion, she put me to work cleaning the grease trap !! I learned a valuable lesson that day and went on to work many a shifts under her care and guidance. She taught me the love of preparing great food, serving customers and feeding family and friends. She will be sorely missed. Love and prayers for the family. ️

Was always enjoyable at the kitchen for our Sunday morning breakfasts.. ohhhh so good. Always enjoyed the cooking and the camaraderie amongst staff and patrons . Rest peacefully.

My heartfelt sympathy to you Ron and all Monica's family members. I do remember meeting Monica at Butler Truck Stop and definitely enjoyed every meal and, especially the desserts, she prepared. May Monica rest in peace. Ellen

I am sorry for your tremndous loss I had the privilege and gift of not only being an employee but becoming a friend of Monica's. She has a amazing boss, and the strongest woman I ever met - she never knew it and I wish I would have told her but something she said to me at work one day changed my life- I thought the world of her xoxox

I’m so sorry to hear that Monica has passed. She was the one that gave me my very first job at Butler Lake truck Stop and will always be appreciative of that. I still remember going in for the 7am shift and the smell of the cinnamon buns she was taking out of the oven was amazing. Her sarcasm always kept me on my toes, and I loved it. She was one hell of a hard working woman! She will be so missed by all.

- Pat C., on June 18, 2025

and the pies! oh the pies! i remember when a bear broke into the butler lake location and ate all her pies. RIP Monica.

- Anita Hebblethwaite, on June 24, 2025

So sorry for your loss. She has always been a hard worker and very generous. Kenogami Kitchen has donated many times different types of desserts to our snowmobile clubs stop and shops and other peoples/ clubs fundraisers too . . Also had top notch food and dessert since my first stop at Butler Lake in 1986 . Condolences to all of her family and friends .

Fern, my sincere condolences to you, your family and friends.

Monica, l never really thought of ever having to say goodbye to you as you were such a force of nature, of life and as I'm sure you will be in death. Wish I could have visited with you before saying goodbye but I guess God needed you in his kingdom before I could. I will continue to think of you as I always have. You are one of the most beautiful people I have ever met and no doubt will ever meet. The heavens will be a great place with you. There you will make everybody smile and laugh as you did on Earth. Goodbye Monica, till we meet again.

What a beautiful and kind person. I knew Monica since Butler Lake Truck Stop days. Coffee and wonderful baking and great breakfasts for those early morning drives. I miss those moments, smiles and consistency in being there. Thank you. Take a breath and please know how many lives you have touched. Take care on that journey to heaven. Love from Patricia McLean
