Adeline Fauchon

It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Adeline Fauchon, cherished wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. Ade passed away peacefully on January 16, 2025, at the age of 85 years, surrounded by her family.

Ade is lovingly remembered by her devoted husband of nearly 62 years, John; her daughters Suzanne Fauchon, Lynn (Stuart) Shydlowski, Nicole (Steve) Vanwieren, and Cindy (Fred) Fonseca; her adored grandchildren Connor, Matthew, Ryan, Benjamin and Analise; her siblings Julian, Phyllis and Jo Ann; and her numerous nieces, nephews, and friends. She is predeceased by her parents, John and Paranka Lapicki and relatives Myron, Duncan, and Clare.

Ade was born and raised in Mundare, Alberta. She moved to Edmonton where she graduated from the Misericordia School of Nursing. While teaching nursing in Vegreville, Ade met the love of her life and married John on July 27, 1963. After a brief move to Saskatchewan, Ade and John returned to Edmonton where they put all of their love and effort into making their forever home. Ade’s greatest joy was raising her four daughters and later, her grandchildren. Through every story told, trip to the park, hug given, trail walked, and game played, Ade made each one feel like the most loved and cherished child in the world. Ade had a passion for nature and gardening. Time spent with friends and family in her beautifully cultivated gardens brought her great happiness.

A service and interment will take place at a later date to be announced.

The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to the entire staff at the University of Alberta and Grey Nuns Community Hospitals for their extraordinary care, compassion and efforts to ensure our family was together with Ade in her last days.
