Morris, Marie Amanda Fabiola Gisele
(October 5th, 2022)
Born Marie Amanda Fabiola Gisele Dupuis, July 29, 1946, in St. Boniface, Manitoba, was the youngest of 17 children. Parents Philiza and Fabiola Dupuis raised their family in Winnipeg Manitoba. Gisele peacefully passed away in her sleep at Kootenay Lakeside Hospital on October 5, 2022.
Gisele married (Jack) Sinclair Morris in 1972, started and raised their family in Vancouver, BC for 18 years with their daughter Gail, and son Ernie. After the nest was empty, Gisele and Jack downsized, moving to the wild canyons of the Nahatlatch River, where they created a wonderful off grid homestead, living the clean and healthy lifestyle they had always wanted. As time went on, they partnered with a rafting company to develop the homestead into a wilderness lodge. After developments were completed, Gisele and Jack sold the property and were soon looking for a new place to live out the remainder of their retirement years. Stumbling on the Village of Slocan, it was love at first sight, and they settled in Slocan in 1996, where they both lived their days in comfort and peace.
Gisele leaves behind the remainder of her large family, Rose, Gabby, Jean, Moe, her daughter Gail, her two grandchildren, Keena (Kian), daughter in law Saraha, Ravann, and great grandson Kaiden. Gisele is now reunited with her husband of 40 years Jack, her son Ernie, her parents, brothers, and sisters that crossed over throughout the years.
May her family reunion in heaven be a joyous one. We will miss her fiery wit, generous heart, and contagious smile. All those who knew her loved her deeply and she will be greatly missed.
