(Formerly DesLauriers)

“I wrote your name in the
sky but the wind blew it away

I wrote your name in the
sand but the waves washed it away

I wrote your name in my
heart and forever it will stay”

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing
of Maria Nofield. Maria was born October 18, 1927
and died peacefully, surrounded by loving family, at
Royal Columbian Hospital on November 21, 2014.
She was pre-deceased by her first husband, Louis
Philippe DesLauriers (‘95) and by her second husband,
Louie Nofield (‘10). She is lovingly survived by her
seven children: Rose Marie Claydon; Phil (Jeanette);
Michel (Michelle); Pierre (Kim); Andre; Laurent
(Caroline); Roger (Karen); her fifteen grandchildren:
Brad; Danielle; Nicole; Jacques; Monique; Simone;
Marc; Anthony; Chantelle; Katie; Mikayla; Danielle;
Ashley; Chelsea; Justin and her three great grandchildren:
Jaxson; Austin; William.
.
She lived much of her married life in New Westminster
as a stay at home mom raising her seven children.
She was a long-time parishioner of St. Peter’s and
will dearly miss her involvement and friends from
the 11am choir and the CWL. While her family will
miss her very much we wish to thank the following
for their love and prayers: St. Thomas More Collegiate;
Notre Dame Regional High School; Vancouver
College; the Christian Brothers and those affiliated
with their schools across North America.
