Among the hostages at Place du Môle in Pornic

A simple life
Retiring in 1984, she maintained a simple life, taking care of her grandchildren for whom she knitted a lot, while reserving some leisure time in the form of card games at the retirees’ club and a few trips.
Enjoying good health, she continues to lead a peaceful life.
In addition to her son and two daughters, five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren were born from her union with René, who died in 2013.
