It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Rachel Patricia Huneault (née Groulx) our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, who passed away at the age of 83 on March 9, 2026.
Though her passing was sudden, the memories she created and the love she shared will remain with her family forever.
She is lovingly remembered by her husband, Louis Huneault, her children, Alain Huneault and Sylvie Skyba and their spouses Julie and Terry, her grandchildren Eric, Michael, Alexandre, Toby and Sophie as well as her loving extended family, and many dear friends.
A Memorial Service will be held to celebrate her life in the Sacred Space at Beechwood's National Memorial Centre on Saturday, May 2, 2026 at 1 pm, followed by a reception.
In lieu of flowers, the family encourages donations to the Civic Hospital of Ottawa in honor of the ICU team who cared for her and her family in her final hours.
She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Like a second mother to me when I was young, tolerating all the mischief Sylvie and I got into, and always welcoming me into her home with open arms. She will forever hold a very special place in my heart.
