Pauline is wearing a dress made by her mother, Juliette Bélisle (née Filion), out of her wedding dress and worn by all 3 daughters. Pauline is married to Mr. Victor Blais and lives in Sudbury (as of April 23, 2013). Léo-Paul Bélisle was the father of the donor, Claudette Bertrand. He was born on April 3, 1914, raised in Blezard Valley, and died on January 10, 2001. The name on his birth certificate is Léopold but he was known as Léo-Paul, Paul, and sometimes Léo. Paul was the name most used by family and friends. Juliette Bélisle was the donor's mother. She was born April 14, 1922, grew up in Field and died January 5, 1998. They married in Field and settled on a farm in Blezard Valley where they raised a family of 5: Claudette, Pauline, Michel, Louise and Félix. Léo-Paul was a miner with Inco and worked at the Stobie and Frood mines retiring in the 70s. He also farmed his 80 acres of land. Juliette was a stay at home mom and after raising her family turned her hobby of ceramics into a business.
