We are sad to announce that on May 23, 2021, at the age of 83, Terttu Orvokki Lausanne (Sault Sainte Marie, Ontario) passed away. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.

She is survived by: her stepchildren, Timo Lausanne and Ari Wikstrom (Renee); her siblings, Marja Charrette (Randy) of Sault Ste, Marie of Finland, Seija Saarinen of Finland, Markku Siivonen of Finland and Leena Karjalainen of Finland; her nephew Adrian Tessier of Searchmont; her niece Liisa Tessier (Shaun) of Barrie; and her great-niece Kayla Tessier of Winnipeg. She is also survived by nieces and nephews.

Terttu was a Life Member and volunteer of the Ontario Finnish Resthome Association; the family would appreciate donations made in her memory (payable by cheque or online) to The Ontario Finnish Resthome Foundation or to the Alzheimer's Society. It was a difficult journey watching how Alzheimer's disease took over her mind and body.
