Corinna Depotier, Kebaowek First Nations — The community is mourning the loss of Corinna Depotier, who passed away recently after a courageous battle with cancer. She was a beloved mother, friend, and respected member of the Kebaowek First Nations. Corinna, also known as "the wind that carries the medicines," was 56 years old.
Her family, including her eldest daughter, Tanecia Rodriguez, has been deeply affected by her passing. Tanecia expressed her admiration for her mother, describing her as a life changer who profoundly touched the lives of those around her. "She always told me, ‘I wish you could see me the way that my friends at work see me,’" Tanecia shared, reflecting on Corinna’s caring and supportive nature.
Corinna’s wish was to have a memorial bench placed on a trail near the water where she often ran and walked. In honor of her memory, a fundraiser named "Corinna’s Eternal Legacy" has been organized by Tanecia to fulfill this wish. The goal is to raise $5,000 to cover the costs of the bench and possibly a memorial tree on the traditional lands of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island.
So far, the fundraiser has raised $525 CAD from seven donations. Contributors like Brenda Ouimette, Tieribio Irma Somda, and Judy Gordon have generously donated $100 each, while other supporters have contributed various amounts.
The community has expressed their condolences and support through heartfelt messages on Facebook. Brandy Clarke wrote, "We are asking for donations for my mother-in-law Corinna Depotier to get a bench in her name on a trail she ran often by the water. It was her wish, and we appreciate any help you can offer."
Corinna’s memory will live on through the love she shared and the joy she brought to everyone around her. Her family and friends will cherish the moments they had with her, finding comfort in the legacy she left behind.
