It is with deep love and sorrow that her friends announce the death of Anne Jolicoeur on April 19, 2026. A tragic series of medical crises occurred while she was at her second home in Cozumel, Mexico in December of last year. For four months after she was brought home to Ottawa, she faced increasingly challenging medical developments that ultimately proved too much for her to bear. She died peacefully with friends by her side.
A vibrant woman who lived life with unbridled passion, enthusiasm and determination, Anne will be remembered by her many friends, relatives, and co-workers as an intelligent, curious, kind, generous and fun-loving person. She was a devoted friend who was always available to help out whether it was a drive to or from the airport or a greater challenge. Anne was always at the ready. An expert scuba diver, Anne was most in her element when travelling the world especially to dive in interesting and exotic locations. She purchased a condo in Cozumel a few years ago and alternated her diving expeditions between this new home base and continuing to travel the world for adventure and to dive.
Beloved daughter of the late Liliane Jolicoeur and the late Rhéal Jolicoeur, Anne is survived by her brother Jean-Marc, sister Helen Adie, and sister Louise Scully, as well as many other family members in Canada and the United States. Anne had a large circle of friends, for many of whom she was a guiding force and inspiration. Her absence will be keenly felt.
Our heartfelt appreciation goes out to everyone who was there for Anne in her final months. We would especially like to recognize the dedicated staff of the Social Work, Nephrology, and Supportive and Palliative Care programs at The Ottawa Hospital, General Campus, as well as Andrea Sekula, Specialized Liaison Nurse for Costamed Hospital Cozumel.
In respect of Anne’s wishes, there will be no visitation or service. Friends are planning a party to celebrate Anne that will take place in the summer or early fall. Details will be announced via Facebook.
Mes sincères sympathies Jean-Marc. Je suis de tout cœur avec toi.
