Memorial Donation
It is with great sadness that the family of the late Austin Billard announce his passing after a brief illness on Tuesday, March 3, 2020 at the age of 78 years at the Sir Thomas Roddick Hospital in Stephenville. He leaves to mourn with fond and loving memories his daughter Karen (Sean) and Grandson Ethan. He will also be sadly missed and forever remembered by his sister Diane Munden (Brian) in Harbour Le Cou, sister-in-law Helen (Will) Strickland in Harbour Breton, Nieces Patsy, Sandra, Pennie, Christa, and Emily Ann, Nephews Tony, Dennis, Dean and Curtis, Caregivers past and present Wendy Rubia, Paula Lucas and Robin Bennett.
He was predeceased by his wife and love of his life Betty, his parents Simeon and Maud Billard, father and mother-in-law Alexander and Lillian Hynes, Brother Frederick, brother in law Sandy, sister in law Irene and nephew Rick Hynes.
Austin was known to most as a gentle caring man who worked hard and loved the company of his family and friends. He had a 44 year career history with Western Construction after which he took on his happiest job – being a grandfather to his grandson Ethan. He was a supportive father, a wonderful grandfather and a loving husband. Austin and Betty celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary just a few short months before her passing. The sorrow we feel today is lessened by the joy that we know they are reunited once again.
Visitation will take place on Sunday from 2-4 and 7-9 at Russell’s Funeral Home in Stephenville Crossing. The funeral service will take place on Monday, March 9th 2020 at 10 am from Assumption Parish on Hospital Road in Stephenville Crossing. Burial will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations may be made in Austin’s memory to the Autism Society Newfoundland and Labrador, Western Region Fund.
