In loving memory of Madeleine Demore (nee Laforest), passed away Thursday, June 24, 2021, with her family by her side at Health Sciences North at the age of 72 years. Born June 09, 1949, in Hanmer, ON she was the daughter of the late Leonard and Alda Laforest. Madeleine was a foster parent for 42 years. She enjoyed spending time at the lake and enjoyed listening to music and crocheting. She was known for her kindness, generosity, and love, and was always surrounded by her family and friends. She was an incredibly special mother to her three "homemade" children, Daniel (Liz), Allan (Mai-Lin), and Lynn (Sean Pitre), her seven "prefab" children Angela, Luc, Michael, Amanda, Riley, Callie and Dante. Madeleine, "Mamere" is also survived by her nine grandchildren, Kristen, Chelsey, Ashley, Bradley, Adam, Hilda, Tyson, Sophia, Ashton and Avayah as well as one great grandchild Cameron. She will be sadly missed by her sister Pauline (Kirby), Francine (Paul), Collette (Robert), brother Robert (Francine) and Joanne (Robert). Madeleine was preceded in death by her husband and parents. At her request no service or visitation will be held.
My sincere condolences to the Laforest and Demore family. We lived on the same street for many years.

My thoughts are with Madeleine’s family at this sad time. Madeleine was a foster parent of mine who I sadly didn’t get to meet after adoption. She has been an inspiration to lots of people including myself. So sorry for your loss.

My thoughts are with Madeleine’s family during this difficult time. Your Maman was an extraordinary person, a true Angel here on earth and now in Heaven with your loving Papa. She has left a lasting impression on all of us who had the pleasure of working with her. J’envoie une pensée spéciale à mon beau bonhomme – Maman sera toujours dans ton cœur ❤️.
