Rachel Corine (Dupuis) Labbé
Born January 14, 1947 – Passed November 3, 2025
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Rachel Corine Labbé in her 78th year. She will be lovingly remembered and dearly missed by her devoted husband of 58 years, Michel Labbé, and her daughter Sheila Adams (Brad Adams). Rachel was predeceased by her precious son, Todd Labbé, whose memory she carried tenderly in her heart.
Rachel’s greatest joy was her family. She loved her grandchildren unconditionally: Shane (Ally), Tanner (Janie), River (Dylan), Kailey, and Ethan (Tianna). She was a cherished great‑grandmother to Sawyer, Zeke, Christina, Zade, Zackery, Zora, and Noah, each of whom brought her immense pride and happiness.
Rachel will also be lovingly remembered by her sisters Jo‑Ann, Marlene, and Peggy, and is predeceased by her sisters Linda, Suzie, and Dianne. She will be fondly remembered by many sisters‑in‑law, brothers‑in‑law, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.
Rachel enjoyed her years teaching special needs students at Crossing All Bridges, where she touched many lives with her compassion and dedication. In her retirement, she found great joy providing respite and spending time with Nancy Sayles. An entrepreneur at heart, Rachel started a cleaning business in Brantford, Ontario, where her hard work and vision earned her an Entrepreneur Award.
At Rachel’s request, cremation has taken place. A celebration of life will follow in the spring, where family and friends will gather to honor her memory.
Rachel’s legacy is one of love, kindness, and devotion to her family and community. Her presence will be profoundly missed, but her spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
A special thank you to all the volunteers and medical staff at Stedman Community Hospice.
For those wishing to contribute, donations in Rachel’s memory can be made to Stedman Community Hospice or Pancreatic Cancer Canada

There is no bond like that of a sister.
To be a woman, you’ve got to be resilient, resolute, and resourceful, all of which Rachel most certainly was.
Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we just get stronger and more resilient.
Mike, Sheila and Family, on behalf of our family to yours, please accept our deepest condolences.
Wishing you peace and comfort in these difficult days.
Prayers are with you always.

Rachel was such a kind soul, more like a sister to me. She was always about family, hence why she had so many dinners. She had to have family and friends always around. I still, in her last weeks had to make her laugh, it was my job to see her smiling face. Love stu, see you on the other side.
