Monique passed away peacefully on January 16th, 2026, at the age of 70.
Dear daughter of the late Gérard Sincennes and the late Françoise
Desjardins.
She is lovingly remembered by her children Patrick (Julie Chartrand) and

to her beloved Carter, whose presence brought her immense happiness.
She will be deeply missed by her partner, Philip Gerrard, whose
companionship brought her comfort and joy. She also leaves behind her
sister Joanne Serafin (Robert), along with extended family, nieces, and
nephews, all of whom will hold her memory close.
A loyal and steadfast friend, Monique built lifelong bonds defined by
warmth, sincerity, and quiet generosity. She will be remembered for her
genuine kindness, her hospitality, and the love she shared with all.
A celebration of Monique’s life will be announced in the coming weeks.
Interment will take place in the spring at Notre Dame Cemetery in
Ottawa, Ontario.
The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the doctors and nurses at The
Ottawa Hospital – General Campus for their compassionate care.
