The family of a Pembroke woman who died two years ago is asking whoever took a tiny urn with her ashes to bring it back.

Patricia Ann Guimond’s ashes were mostly buried in 2015, except for small amounts left in small urns as keepsakes for family members.

The family now clearing out the former home in Pembroke, and on Saturday, as people toured through to see furniture for sale, someone picked up one of the urns. The urn is just two or three inches tall.

Family friend Scott Myers writes in a Facebook post about the incident: “If anyone has them please return them no questions asked.” The theft was at 175 Garden St.

Provincial police confirmed they are investigating the theft, which they say occurred between 10 a.m. on 1 p.m. Anyone with information about the theft is asked to contact the Upper Ottawa Valley OPP at 613-732-3332 or Pembroke/Renfrew County CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
