Gisele Sinclair, 62 years young, passed away in the early morning on November 30, 2020, less than two weeks after being diagnosed with advanced cancer.
Born and raised in Edmonton, Gisele became a long time resident of St. Albert when she moved here in 1984 after marrying the love of her life, Glenn. They raised two wonderful children in the home they built.
Gisele began work as a hair stylist and then as a bank teller for two local CIBC branches in St. Albert. But her true claim to fame and passion began in 2000 when she and her friend and neighbor Kathie Fisher purchased the Candy Bouquet. They touched the hearts and sweet tooths of many for nearly 20 years before selling the iconic store and retiring in 2019.
Travel was Gisele's passion and she and Glenn were fortunate to explore much of the world together. She was always dreaming up and planning the next trip. She also loved playing cards, dancing, and drinking red wine. Gisele understood that the most important things in her life were the people she loved. She was never too busy for a card game, or a quick visit over a glass of wine with family and friends, new and old.
She will forever be lovingly remembered by her husband Glenn, daughter Erin, son Raymond (Sarah), and first grandchild Parker. She leaves behind her mother Theresa, sister Carmen, brothers Dan (Jean) and Paul (Wendy), as well as numerous nieces, nephews, a large clan of cousins and relatives and friends worldwide.
A celebration of Gisele’s wonderful life will be held at a later date when all the important people in her life can be together. In lieu of flowers, the family requests you donate to your local cancer foundation.
