DOLLARD-DES-ORMEAUX Dollard-des-Ormeaux city-councillor Colette Gauthier passed away while in palliative care Sunday evening after suffering a stroke in November. She was 75 years old. “They’ll be very big shoes to fill,” Alex Bottausci, the mayor of Dollard-des-Ormeaux, said on Wednesday. After the stroke, Gauthier received care at the Jewish General Hospital before being transferred to the Teresa Dellar Palliative Care Residence in Kirkland, where she had volunteered for more than a decade. She was allowed visitors while staying at Teresa Dellar, where she spent her final weeks in the company of her family. Flags were brought down to half-mast at the city council building, where Gauthier was first elected in 1994. She was councillor for District 8 and was known for “always putting the community before herself,” said Bottausci.
