Memorial grows in Prince Albert
On Friday, a memorial was being set up to honour Gauthier, who was nicknamed “Baby Moose.”
Her aunt, Jessica Fiddler added flowers and items that were important to her niece.
“The streets are not the same without her, its really quiet out here,” Fiddler said. “She just made your day better.”
Charmaine Dumais added a green alien stuffie to the memorial.
“She always carrying this around in her backpack and I found this behind the church up the hill, so I thought I’d bring it because she had it all the time,” she said.
Dumais described her friend as outspoken and very proper.
Alyson Corrigal, a daycare operator who helped Gauthier, said she was a caring, loving, big-hearted mom to her children.
“She was a silly individual. She was always the jokester,” Corrigal said.
“When she saw me in the community any time she would come give me a hug and tell me ‘Thank you for all the support you gave me.’ She was a mom, a daughter, a sister and protector. She mattered.”
