Andre C. Carriere
January 3, 1947 - May 9, 2003
A loving father, husband, friend and mentor to many, passed away on Friday May 9, 2003. Andre was born along the banks of the Red River near St. Adolphe, Manitoba. Strong family bonds were created as the family worked side by side on their market garden. These times were among his fondest memories, and helped shape his strong work ethic.
In 1969, he joined the Rural Municipality of Cartier where he served as Chief Administrative Officer for over 33 years. He was truly passionate about his work and never lost sight that his position was to serve the rate payers to the best of his ability. In addition, through the years he also served on many committees and community organizations.
Despite his physical challenges, Andre showed a great passion for life which served as an inspiration for all who knew him. His family and friends will always carry fond memories of Andre's wild tales, and silly songs in their hearts.
Predeceased by his parents Charles and Rose-Anna Carriere, Andre leaves many to carry on the torch and to miss him every day. His son Todd (Tracy), daughter Lisa, their mother, and best friend Joy Carriere, his "amour not" Vivian Smith, step children Rielle Smith (John Finkbeiner), Francois Smith. Also left to mourn the loss of their beloved brother are, Ellen (Rene) Gratton, Erneste (Gloria) Carriere, Eveline (Armand) Levesque, Hugette (Marc) Phaneuf, and many nephews and nieces.
Funeral Mass will be celebrated at the Paroisse St. Eustache Church in St. Eustache Manitoba on Thursday May 15 at 10:30 a.m.
Flowers not necessary, thoughts and memories, cherished. Donations in Andre's memory may be made to Canadian Blood Services, Kidney Foundation or, Arthritis Society.

and in order to remake himself he must

It is with deepest sorrow that we announce the passing of our husband, father and grandfather on Wednesday, September 17th, 2003 at the Taché Centre.
He was predeceased by his 1st wife Irène Routhier (nee Rondeau) in 1981 and one grandson Jérome Bernard in 1993. Maurice was also predeceased by his parents Xavier and Alma Routhier; brothers, Léo, Laurent, Gérard, Hector and his sisters, Blanche, Florence and Marie.
He will be remembered with great love by Thérèse, his wife of 18 years; daughters, Florence Dufault (Alfred), Doris Poiron (Claude), Evelyne Gauvin (Gérald), Jeanne Poiron (Jean), Blanche Deleurme (Guy), Bertha Nadeau (Claude) and his grandchildren, Claudette and friend (Mike), Rhéal, Denis, Roland, Ginette, Michel, Jérémie, Brigitte, Natalie, Lynne, Mathieu, David, Lianne, Stéphanie, Danielle, Pierre and Nicole. He will also be greatly missed by his brothers Irènée and Aimé; sisters Laurette, Rita, Simone, Antoinette, Lucille, brother-in-laws, sister-in-laws, nieces and nephews.
Maurice was born on December 22, 1924 and grew up on the family farm in Saint-Léon Manitoba. He was the fourth child in a family of fifteen. Maurice worked at numerous jobs for many years away from home before returning to his father's farm.
On November 21st, 1959, Maurice married Irène Rondeau and settled on his father's farm where all of their six daughters were born and raised. Together they worked the land laboriously praying it would hear their plea and reward them plentifully for their toils. After many years on the farm, Maurice and wife Irène sold the farm and moved to Somerset in 1977. On August 16th, 1981, Maurice lost his loved one Irène.
In 1984, Maurice met Thérèse Fredette of Winnipeg and was married on June 29th 1985. Together they resided in Somerset until 1998 and then moved to Winnipeg.
Dad will always be remembered for his love of the outdoors and the many happy hours spent gardening. He especially treasured his time spent with his children and grandchildren and telling us his countless stories of his past. Even though Dad was suffering through his illness, he always had a smile to share with everyone.
Many thanks to all those who accompanied Maurice on his journey home. Our gratitude goes to the personnel at Taché Centre. All of you have been angels at his side.
Adieu Dad, Pépère!
On t'aime beaucoup!
