Donald Aubie
1946-2018
It is with great sadness that the family
of Donald Aubie, of Bathurst, announces his passing after a brief
illness at the Chaleur Regional Hospital on Thursday, February 1, at
the age of 71.
Born in South Bathurst, he was the son of
the late Doran and Sylvia (Boudreau) Aubie.
Donald was the loving partner of Annette
Pitre; caring father to Charlene (Reg Fagan), Rachel, and Shawn, and
proud Pépère to Kelsie, Kyle, Brandon, and
Brianna, all of Bathurst.
Donald will be lovingly remembered by his
six siblings: Walter (Hannah), Danny (Lori), Bernie (Norma), Irene
Morais (Leo), Betty Ann LeBlanc (the late David), all of Bathurst, and
Rose Marie Hosie (David) of Toronto. He is also survived by the mother
of his children, Lorraine Aubie, and several nieces and
nephews.
He was predeceased by two brothers,
Ernest and Herman.
Donald will be remembered for his charm,
wit, and unwavering support for the Montreal Canadiens. In the summer,
he could always be seen travelling around town on his scooter to get a
double-double (aka double trouble) from Timmies. He loved to fish, and
in his younger years enjoyed playing softball. A lover of music, he
could often be heard playing guitar and singing along to one of his
many favourite songs.
Donations in memory of Donald can be made
to The Arthritis Society or a charity of the donor’s choice.
The family would like to express the
utmost appreciation for the staff of the Intensive Care Unit for the
exceptional care and compassion shown to Donald. Additionally, they
would like to thank the staff of Brise de l’Oasis Manor.
As per Donald’s request, there
will be no visitation. Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Tuesday,
February 6th at 2:00 p.m. at Holy Family Church. Arrangements are in
the care of Elhatton’s Funeral Home (www.elhatton.com),
Bathurst.
