Priscilla Cyrette-Landry (1938 or 1939 – 4 October 1979), also written Precilla Cyrette, was a woman of the Cyrette family of the Fort William First Nation community who was born and raised in Fort William and lived in Thunder Bay. She died in Montreal at the age of 40.[1]
Life
She was a daughter of George and Clara Cyrette.[1] Her mother lived on the Fort William reserve for most of her life.[2] At her death Priscilla lived at 237 MacDougall [Street] in Thunder Bay.[1]
Family
She had four sons, James, Kelly, Harry and Gary Landry, all living in Thunder Bay in 1979.[1] Their father was James Landry: the 2015 notice for her son James names his parents as Precilla Cyrette and James Landry,[3] and the 1996 notice for James Landry names his sons James, Kelly and Gary.[4]
Her sisters Phyliss (Mrs. J. Boucher), Hazel (Mrs. J. Kimball, probably Hazel Kimball (died 1991)) and Isabel (Mrs. J. Cyrette-McKellar) lived in Thunder Bay in 1979, and Sally (Mrs. A. Kimball), Audrey (Mrs. R. Barnes) and Charlene Cyrette lived in Toronto. Her parents were both living. She had been predeceased by three sisters, Bertha, Loretta and Gladys Monroe (printed "Monoe"), and by two sisters who died in infancy;[1] one of these was Mary Jane.[2]
The funeral was held at the Blake Funeral Chapel, with Rev. J. E. McKey SJ of St. Anne's Mission Church officiating, and she was buried in Mountain View Cemetery.[1]
Name
The Chronicle-Journal death index enters her both as "Cyrette-Landry, Priscilla (Mrs.)" and as "Landry, Priscilla (Mrs.)".[5] Her son's 2015 notice spells her name Precilla Cyrette.[3]
