Holli Jo-Anne Lemoine
Holli Jo-Anne Lemoine (née Prill), born May 22nd, 1961 in Edmonton, AB, passed away Thursday, January 8th, 2026, at the age of 64 in the presence of her loved ones.
Holli was the beloved wife of René, mother of two sons; Thomas (Jackie), James (Elodie), and grandma of four beautiful grandsons; Dexter, Felix, Jude, Lokan with one on the way.
Holli was survived by her brother Brian (Anne, Jason, Jennifer), and beloved sister Susan. She also leaves behind family who loved her dearly. Among them are her father-in-law Marcel, Sandra (Daren, Shanna), Paul and Esther (Jordan, Meagan, Gracie), Colette and Bruce (Samantha, Rob, Steven, Jenn, Evelyn, Bryan, Alicia), and Lucille and Jason (Gabrielle, Christopher, Emily). Holli will also be deeply missed by her dog, Eko, who was an endless source of comfort and companionship. Holli was predeceased by her mother Margret, mother-in-law Claudette, and brother-in-law Robert.
After her graduation from Jasper Place High School, Holli embarked on a position with the Government of Alberta Housing (1987). She left on Long Term Disability due to Multiple Sclerosis in 2018. Her last major project was the Slave Lake fires.
Honey Bunny, as René affectionately called her, was a shining light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her. Holli had no hobbies, other than dressing her grandbabies in Roots clothing and feeding her dog Eko all her food. Her passing has left a void in the hearts of her family, friends and fur-babies, whose lives were touched by her. We ask that you remember Holli for the way her life was lived, with corageous perseverance and the sweetest of dispositions in the midst of adversity.
The family chooses to celebrate Holli’s life privately, but appreciate your prayers and kind words of remembrance to a beautiful life well lived.

Rene and family, words cannot express our heartfelt condolences. So sorry for your loss. Will keep you, your boys and their family in our prayers and thoughts
To Holli’s family and friends and pup- I worked with her in Housing- I will always remember her as a kind and funny friend to all- she worked hard and her pride of her family was endless. I hope that in time that all your happy memories of her help ease your sadness and the happy times make you smile. My condolences on your loss of a beautiful lady.
I worked with Holli for many years. My morning routine was to visit Hollie’s desk in the mornings to say hi and chat. Holli had a great smile and uplifting personality. She was always sharing stories and food with me. I was lucky enough to be given my own container of Rene’s remarkable butter tarts. She will be missed.
Since my retirement in 2016 I hadn’t seen much of Holli but we worked closely together for 30 years or more. Holli was a very kind and considerate coworker and a great mother. She cared deeply for her family. She will be missed by all who knew her.
