Fernand Labossière

Tragically, on November 26, 2005, Fernand Labossière (78), his wife Rita (Beaupré) (74) and their son Rémi Labossière (44) were victims of a fire that destroyed their farm house.
The sixth child of Azarie and Noëlla (Grégoire) Labossière of Saint-Léon, Fernand married Rita Beaupré, daughter of Edmond and Jeanette (Fortier) Beaupré from Dunrea in 1952. Fernand and Rita took residence on a farm in Saint-Léon and were blessed with the births of their ten children.
They started with a very modest home with the bare necessities. Over many years of hard work and determination, they succeeded in developing a successful model farm.
Rita was a vibrant woman who loved life and lived it to the fullest. Always very energetic, with never a dull moment, she was forever helping others and putting other's needs before her own. Her gentle and generous heart touched many lives. Her warmth and compassion will be remembered by every life she touched. She had a very deep devotion for her grandchildren of whom she was very fond.
Fernand, although a private man, influenced his descendants and his friends by his honesty, generosity and his sense of humor. He placed everyone's needs before his own, always willing to help others. He spent endless hours reading about current or historical events. Having a photographic memory, he could remember specific dates and details of any event, local or national. Although, retired for several years, he still had a very strong passion for farming, spending endless hours helping his son. He also enjoyed playing cards with friends, relatives and family members.
Rémi (Labbé) was raised and resided in Saint-Léon till his passing. He took pride in all his endeavours. Like his father, he had a great passion for farming, always researching new agricultural methods. Carpentry was also one of his occupations in which he took great pride. His favorite pastimes were playing cards with family and friends as well as playing jokes on them. His overwhelming generosity and great sense of humour will always be remembered by all.
Fernand and Rita were predeceased by their children, Marie (1958), Louis (1996) and Rémi (2005).
They leave to mourn their children: Paulette Desrochers (Donnie), Rose-Marie, Jeannine Labossière (Gerald), Ubald, Nicole Labossière-Clark, (Garry), Charles and Jérôme (Claudette).
They are survived by seven grandchildren: Martin and Shawn Desrochers, Joël Labossière (Magdalena), Daniel Labossière, Kayla and Melissa Clark, Michaël Labossière and great grandson Jorden Labossière.
Rita is survived by two brothers: Alphonse Beaupré (Pearl), Henri Beaupré (Della) and her sisters Lorraine Labossière, (Alphée deceased), Roseline Prescott (Joe), Thérèse Delichte (Albert), Annette Knook (Théo), Ida Mousseau (Normand deceased).
Rita was predeceased by her parents Edmond (1987), Jeannette (1990) Beaupré and her sister Muriel and brother-in-law George in 1973.
Fernand is survived by his brothers: Gérard (Jacqueline deceased 2000)of Montréal, Sylvio (Jacqueline) of Valleyfield Québec, one sister Monique Messner (Paul), of Winnipeg and one sister-in-law, Marie of Saint-Léon.
Fernand was predeceased by his parents: Azarie Labossière (1956), Noëlla (née Grégoire) (1981), brothers, Marcien (1948), Jacques (1992), Olier (1996), and sisters Edmée (1992), Jeanne (1995).
They also leave to mourn numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Funeral mass will be celebrated in the Saint-Léon Roman Catholic church on Saturday December 3, 2005 at 1:30 p.m preceded by the Rosary at 1:00 p.m.
The family wishes to thank the exceptional Firemen for their great effort. We would also like to express our gratitude for all the support and compassion shown at this tragic time in our lives.
As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations may be made to a charity of choice.
No words can express our loss. Death broke the link that joined us and broke our hearts in two. We will always love and think of you, Mom, Mémère, Dad, Grandpa, Brother and Uncle. Au revoir! Adieu! On vous aime!

Le 26 novembre, 2005, Fernand Labossière âgé de 78 ans, son épouse Rita (Beaupré) âgée de 74 ans et leur fils Rémi, âgé de 44ans ont péri dans l'incendie de leur maison de ferme.
Fernand était le sixième enfant d'Azarie et de Noëlla (Grégoire) Labossière de Saint-Léon. En 1952, il épousa Rita Beaupré, la fille aînée d'edmond et de Jeanette (Fortier) Beaupré de Dunrea. Ils s'établirent sur une ferme à Saint-Léon. Dix enfant sont nés de leur union.
Ils ont commencé leur vie de couple dans une maison très modeste. Au fil des années et grâce à leur travail et à leur courage, ils ont réussi à développer une ferme céréalière modèle.
Très active et énergique, Rita était toujours prête à aider les autres, surtout aux moments difficiles. Bien des gens ont été touchés par sa bonté, sa gentillesse et sa générosité. Sa cordialité et sa bienveillance s'étendaient aussi envers ses petits-enfants qu'elle chérissait beaucoup et qu'elle accueillait toujours chaleureusement.
Fernand, quoique dans ses paroles et dans ses actions, à beaucoup influencé ses enfants et ses amies par son honnêteté, sa générosité et son dévouement. Souvent il sacrifiait ses intérêts personnels en faveur des autres. La lecture était sa passion. L'histoire et l'actualité étaient ses sujets préférés. Possédant une mémoire remarquable, ils pouvait associer la date précise (même le mois, le jour, etc.) à un nombre extraordinaire d'événements (historiques ou locaux) du passé. Bien qu'il était à sa retraite depuis quelques années, il avait encore un grand attachement à la terre et passait beaucoup de temps à aider son fils aux travaux de la ferme. Son passe-temps favori était de jouer aux cartes avec ses amies, sa parenté ou les membres de sa famille.
Rémi (Labbé) a passé toute sa vie à Saint-Léon. Il était fier de tout ce qu'il avait entrepris et accompli. Comme son père, il aimait la ferme et faisait des recherches de nouvelles méthodes d'agriculture, espérant améliorer le rendement de ses récoltes. La menuiserie l'intéressait aussi beaucoup et il était très fier de ses travaux. Son passe-temps favori était de jouer aux cartes avec des amies ou en famille. Rusé, il aimait jouer de bons tours à ses amis. Tous se souviendront de sa grande générosité de cœur et de ses propos pleins d'humour.
Fernand, et Rita ont été prédécédés par leurs enfants Marie(1958), Louis(1996) et Rémi(2005).
Ils laissent dans de deuil leurs enfants : Paulette Desrochers (Donnie), Rose-Marie, Jeannine Labossière (Gérald), Ubald, Nicole Labossière-Clark (Garry), Charles et Jerôme (Claudette). Ils laissent aussi sept petits-enfants : Martin et Shawn Desrochers, Joël Labossière (Magdalena), Daniel Labossière, Kayla et Melissa Clark, Michaël Labossière et leur arrière-petit-fils, Jorden Labossière.
Rita laisse aussi deux frères : Alphonse Beaupré (Pearl), Henri Beaupré (Dells) et ses sœurs : Lorraine Labossière (Alphée, décédé), Roseline Prescott (Joe), Thérèse Delchite (Albert), Annette Knook (Théo) et Ida Mousseau (Normand, décédé).

La messe des funérailles sera célébrée dans l'église de Saint-Léon, samedi le 3 décembre 2005 à 1 :30 p.m. précédée par le récitation de chapelet à 1 :00p.m.
