Marie Thérèse Killens

Marie Thérèse Rollande Killens (born 29 June 1927 in Trois-Rivières, Quebec) was a Liberal party member of the House of Commons of Canada. She was an administrator by career.

She represented the riding of Saint-Michel, which became known as Saint Michel—Ahuntsic in 1983. Her victories in the 1979, 1980 and 1984 federal elections, earned her terms in the 31st, 32nd and 33rd Canadian Parliaments.

She did not campaign in the 1988 federal election and thus left federal politics at the completion of her third term in office.
