Well that's interesting!
When her husband died suddenly — Québec Liberal MNA for Mégantic-Compton Fabien Bélanger — she won the by-election three months later to replace him. He had held the seat for 2 years, 10 months and 14 days. She held it for 19 years, 4 months and 4 days. Madeleine Bélanger's daugther, Johanne Gonthier, then held the seat from 2007 to 2012, for 5 years, 5 months and 7 days.
