Catherine Laborde will always be with them. Having passed away at the age of 73 on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, the former weather presenter remains in the hearts of her loved ones, but not only. As revealed by Paris Match, the deceased left a beautiful legacy to her grandchildren. But it's not money that's at stake. No, this is much more precious and touching. And for good reason: it's her voice that Catherine Laborde left before leaving this world.

In its columns, the newspaper reveals that Catherine Laborde's children, Gabriele and Pia, took the time to record their mother when they were younger. It was in the evening, at bedtime reading time, that the two sisters put the voice of the deceased on the airwaves, reciting La Fontaine to them. “If mom changes, her voice hasn't moved.” Gabriele told Paris Match. So, even as Catherine Laborde began to lose her words due to Lewy body disease, her loved ones were able to continue to enjoy her ranting thanks to technology.

Moreover, this makes her grandchildren happy. Saul, Catherine Laborde's grandson, was apparently the first to benefit from his grandmother's recordings. He “was hypnotized, as a baby, when his grandmother began to speak. Thanks to the recordings of Catherine reading the fables, her grandchildren will be able to continue to fall asleep with her.” writes the newspaper. As a reminder, it was Gabrièle Laborde who, married, gave birth to Saul. Her younger daughter, Pia, born in 1990, welcomed her first child in 2020, making Catherine Laborde a fulfilled grandmother.

Very close to her daughters, Catherine Laborde confided in them in the columns of Télé Loisirs. “I rely a lot on my two daughters and my husband, I sometimes don't realize how much it can weigh,” she confided.
