SAANICH, British Columbia, April 1 (UPI) -- Kathleen Sinclair, grandmother of Canadian parliament member Justin Trudeau, has died of natural causes, her family announced. She was 92.

Sinclair, who was also the mother of the late Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau's wife, Margaret, and the wife of Liberal Member of Parliament James Sinclair, died on Vancouver Island at a Saanich, B.C., nursing home Thursday, her daughter Betsy Dening said.

Dening, one of five daughters, said her mother loved family, especially babies, Postmedia News reported Sunday.

"Every picture that I find of her, she has babies and children all over her and we're at a beach or we're sitting in the garden. She was just so loving," Dening said.

Sinclair, nicknamed Bubbles because of how many she produced as a baby, had 11 grandchildren -- including the Quebec Liberal Member of Parliament Justin Trudeau -- 13 great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren. Her husband James Sinclair died in 1984, Postmedia News said.
