It is with great sadness that we the family announce the passing of our dear Gérard “Nou-Nou” Paulin, which occurred at the Chaleur Regional Hospital on Saturday, January 9, at the age of 77.
Born in Caraquet, he was son of the late Léo Paulin (Hotel Paulin) and the late Eva Albert (Château Albert). Gérard continued the family hotel business tradition for nearly 50 years that spanned three generations.
He was the owner of Hotel Paulin in Caraquet with his mother, until her death in 1974. He was a member of St-Pierre-aux-Liens Church choir.
He is survived by his wife, Karen Mersereau and their son Jules both of Caraquet, as well as his five sisters: Léola Cyr and Alberte “Bebette” Paulin both of Caraquet, Argentine “Gigi” Paulin and Marcelle Bassette both of Montréal, Qc, Pierrette Hafner of Geneva, Switzerland.
Several nieces and nephews.
There will be no visitations at the funeral home. Funeral Mass will be celebrated from Église St-Pierre-aux-Liens, Caraquet once covid restrictions are lifted. A celebration of Gérard’s life will be held from the Hotel Paulin at a later date.
Donations in memory of Gérard may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or a favorite charity. Arrangements are in the care of Elhatton’s Funeral Home (www.elhatton.com), Bathurst.
