We are heartbroken to share that Thérèse Derdaele-Gadoury (Robak) peacefully passed away on Thursday, August 27, 2026, at the Hospice of Windsor and Essex County, surrounded by her family’s love, at the age of 80.
She was a devoted wife to Michel Gadoury.
Thérèse was a loving mother to Patrick (Lori) Robak Jr., Dan (Paula) Robak, Anne (Scott) Tazzman, Nicole (James) Carr, Gérard (Michelle) Gadoury, Paul Gadoury, Rose Gadoury, Marc (Joy) Gadoury, and Philippe Gadoury.
She will be remembered as a cherished Grand-maman and Mémè to 16 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren who filled her life with pride and happiness.
Thérèse is also survived by her dear siblings Rose (Don) Bates, Frances (Mary) Derdaele, Claudette Derdaele (Hugh Farquhar), and the late Marcel Derdaele (survived by Margaret).
She was a beloved sister-in-law of Gérard (Lise) Gadoury, Therese Gadoury, Richard (Marianne Perron-Gadoury) Gadoury, and the late Jacques Vallière (survived by Rita).
Thérèse was predeceased by her parents Frank and Mae Derdaele.
Her many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends will miss her dearly.
Thérèse will be remembered for her strong faith in God, commitment to her family, and kind nature. A proud member of the Catholic Women’s League, she found joy in cooking, gardening, and helping others. Her love and generosity were key parts of her life that inspired everyone who knew her.
