Obituary for Roland Jolicoeur
.
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Roland Jolicoeur at age 82 after a short battle with cancer.
He will be forever loved and missed by his wife of 58 years Yvette (nee Robidoux); daughter Anita (Mel Partyka); son Denis (Lisa Dudych); grandchildren Michael (Rae-Ann), Chantelle (Mike); great-grandson Marshall; brother Ben (Therese); sisters-in-law Jeannette, Lucie, Annette Robidoux; brother-in-law Henri-Paul Blanchette; and numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.
He was predeceased by his parents, Adelard and Adrienne Jolicoeur; siblings Yvan, Paul (Gisele), Père Louis, Irma Coudenys (Marcel), Jeannette Blanchette, Rene, Noel, Lorraine Frechette (Noel); father-in-law & mother-in-law Wilfred & Eugenie Robidoux; brothers-in-law Joe Robidoux, Emile Robidoux (Fernande), Henri Robidoux (Cecile), and Denis Robidoux (Diane).
Roland was born on March 12, 1941 in St. Boniface and grew up in La Broquerie, Manitoba. He worked on the family farm in his early years, and at the age of 19 he started working at CN. He retired at the age of 63.
He greatly enjoyed curling, quadding, snowmobiling, fishing, and hunting. The light of his life was his great-grandson Marshall. While in the hospital, Marshall would visit and bring a big smile to Pépère’s face. Roland enjoyed family dinners and spending time with his many friends and family.
He was a kind & gentle soul who was loved by everybody.
Memorial service and reception will be held on Saturday, November 4, 2023 at Coutu Funeral Home, 680 Archibald Street, at 1:00 pm. Private interment for family will be at a later date.
The family wishes to extend their thanks to the wonderful staff at the St. Boniface Hospital Palliative Care Unit.
