Emile Cormier
1930-2021
JARDINEVILLE, NB – It is with profound sadness that
the family of Emile Cormier 90, of Jardineville announces his peaceful
passing at the Stella Maris Hospital in Ste-Anne-de-Kent on Sunday,
January 24, 2021. Born in Rexton, he was the son of the late
Luc Cormier and late Genvieve « Jane » (Vautour)
Cormier.
In his youth he worked on pipelines from Western Canada to
Newfoundland and Labrador and enjoyed meeting new people, especially
from different cultures. Once he married the love of his
life, Noella in 1963, he worked for Laurentide Chemicals where he
retired after 30+ years of service. He never realized his
dream of working on the steamers, however, his love of boats always
remained.
He was an avid dancer and since his youth, found his way to
nearly every dance hall from Rexton to Harcourt. He and
Noella were members of the St. Louis Golden Age Club where they danced
weekly for a number of years.
Emile was truly one of a kind, always with a warm smile,
always ready to help anyone in need, ready to give the shirt off his
back with no regard for himself. Humble, with no desire for
attention, he enjoyed the simple, natural things in life. He
was a devoted parishioner and the only thing he loved more than his
church was his family. He wasn’t strong on
accepting charity but was the first one to offer it.
He is survived by his loving wife of nearly 58 years, Noella
(Robichaud) Cormier of Jardineville; two daughters, Rose-Marie Cormier
(Roger) of Cocagne, Monique Scarling (Eric) of St. Charles; two sons,
Donald « Donnie » Cormier, Terrance « Terry » Cormier
both of Jardineville; five grandchildren, Michel (Jolene), Mathieu
(Lise), Marc (Shirley), Cameron (Kelly), Adonica, four great
grandchildren, Noah, Alex, Rylee, Madison, two step grandchildren,
Samuel, Yzabel, one great grandson, Lukas; and one nephew, Ernie
Comeau; as well as many brothers and sisters in law.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by one sister,
Laurestine.
Visitation will be held on Sunday from 2-4 & 6-8 pm,
Monday at 9:00 am until departure for the funeral at
Thompson’s Funeral Home in Richibucto. A Funeral Mass will
be celebrated on Monday, February 15, 2021 at 11:00
