It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Francine Poitras who died peacefully with family members by her side on Sunday, May 12, 2019 at the age of 56.

She was an amazing woman and mother who always lived life to the fullest and faced any adversity head on.  

Francine’s family would like to recognize and thank the oncology team at the Ottawa Hospital, General Campus for their excellent care and compassion.
