It is with profound sadness and broken hearts that we announce the passing of Joseph Yves Roger Genesse, which occurred at the Carleton Manor in Woodstock, N.B. on Friday April 19, 2024, at the age of 75.
Yves was born on July 31, 1948, in St. Come – Liniere, Quebec to the late Hercules and Cecile (Rodrigue) Genesse.
Yves was a very hard worker and believed in doing any job to the best of his ability. Yves attended the Lady Dunn Trade School in St. Andrews where he received his carpentry license. In 1969 he began his journey at the St. Anne Pulp & Paper Mill as one of the carpenters to assist with the construction. He remained at St. Anne, working first as an oiler, next as part of the maintenance team, and finally as a mechanic; in 1993 he received his Red Seal as an Industrial Mechanic and remained at AV Nackawic until his retirement in 2014.
Yves was a part of the Canadian Army Militia from 1963 – 1966 and served in the Canadian Army Reserve from 1967 – 1976 when he was honorably discharged for hearing loss. He was a very devout Catholic, having been a part of the Knights of Columbus for 46 years; he served as the Grand Knight for 2 years.
Yves will be sadly missed by his wife of 53 years, Pamela (West) Genesse, his only child, Christy Scott (Charles), and his grandchildren, Miranda, and Charlie Scott. He is survived by his brother Alain Genesse, nieces, nephews, and other extended family. Besides his parents, Yves was predeceased by his sister, Lise Nicholson, sister-in-law, Frankie Genesse, and his father and mother-in-law, Arthur, and Bertha (Seely) West. Yves was a loving husband, proud father, grand-father, brother, and friend.
Yves enjoyed being outdoors, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, and doing yard work; bowling, calling Bingo for the K of C and the Legion, playing cards, and meeting the guys for morning coffee were other activities he enjoyed.
Resting at the Carleton Funeral Home, 337 Lockart Mill Road Jacksonville, NB. At his request, there will be no public visitation.
All are welcome to attend the funeral service at St Gertrude’s Roman Catholic Church in Woodstock on Saturday April 27, 2024, at 10:30am. A reception will follow in the CWL Hall.
For those who wish to make a donation in memory of Yves, the family has suggested the Alzheimer’s Society, the Heart and Stroke Foundation, or a charity of the donor’s choice.
