She was a kind and gentle mom who taught us when faced with life challenges to just try your best and that was enough. “Jerry” as she liked to be called, had many friends in the Unionville community where she resided for many years on West Avon Rd with her late husband of 64 years, John Gurovich who died 14 years ago. Gisele was born in St. Guillaume D' Upton Quebec to Edward and Diane Boisvert. She was an active member of St. Mary's Church for many years.
