The death occurred peacefully at the Prince County Hospital, Summerside, PEI, of Sylvia Olive Gaudet of Alberton, and formerly of Brockton, age 81 years. Beloved wife of the late Edmond Joseph Gaudet. Born February 16, 1943, she was the daughter of the late Irving and Levina (nee Cannon) Henderson.

Sylvia could always be found wearing her grey cardigan, and knitting needles in her hands, making mittens for her family and for anyone else who commented on her mittens. So think of her each time you wear those mittens in the coming winter months. 

Sylvia's mind was strong, her heart was not. Thank you to all the nurses and doctors who helped Sylvia during her illness.
