Obituary for Pierre Georges Joseph Pelletier
Pierre died at Victoria Hospital after a brief stay. He was predeceased by his parents Ida (1972) and Alexis (1992), his brother Paul (2021) and his daughter Michèle (2018). He leaves his wife of 65 years Suzanne (LaRivière) to whom he was devoted, his children Marc, Louise (Gord) and Robert as well as his grandchildren Pier-Andrée (Nathan), Manon (Steve), Nathan, Nicholas (Coco), Gabrielle, Elise, Patrick, Erik and great grandchildren Kai, Hailey, Carter, Alexcia, Annick, Maddison and Mateo. His sisters Suzanne and Nicole (Dave) join his nieces, nephews and cousins in mourning his loss.
Kind, gentle, humble, selfless and above all, handsome was how most people described him. Pierre had a stubborn side but was quick to laugh, had a great sense of humour and enjoyed sarcasm. He was born in Manitoba but lived in Montreal for several years as a child. For the rest of his life, he stayed close to St. Boniface and got his education at Provencher School and Collège St. Boniface.
Pierre had a good work ethic and spent the bulk of his career with Manitoba Hydro (33 years) as a draftsman/surveyor. He was fortunate to be able to retire at the age of 55 and spent most of his retirement in good health (33 years). He and Suzanne especially enjoyed the time spent at the cottage he built in Beaconia, being in Mexico and Vancouver Island in the winters with their friends, and travelling throughout Canada and the U.S. They also visited several countries in Europe but the highlight was getting to Australia and New Zealand to see their granddaughter Pier and her family.
The staff (doctors, nurses, health care aides) from 5 North at Victoria Hospital as well as his primary care physician, Dr. Isabelle Paquin, are to be commended for their compassion and standard of care. Our father got excellent care and we are grateful for their support throughout.
A memorial Service will be held on Wednesday, December 14, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. at the Coutu Funeral Home, located at 680 Archibald Street.
