ÉMILE DOUCETTE, 93, passed away on Tuesday, February 12th, 2019 at the Miramichi Regional Hospital after a brief illness. He was first married to his loving wife the late Geraldine (Lavoie) Doucette and his loving wife of a second marriage Irene (Collette) Doucette of Rogersville. Born in East Collette July 14th, 1925, he was the eldest son of the late Jerry Doucette and of the late Josephine (the late Jos Gallant) Doucette.
In addition to his wife Irene, he is survived by two sons: Lionel (Ester) Doucette and Ronald (Sylvina) Doucette; three daughters: Eliza (late Dan) See, Margaret (Larry) Harris and Patricia (Maurice) Roussy; two stepsons: Gabe Collette (Patricia) and Norm Collette: eight step-daughters: Diane Hossack (Dale), Jackie Hanselpacker (Larry), Patricia Collette, Cecilia Gallant (Roger), Eva Courtemanche (Ivan), Norma Collette, Gisele Parkinson and Carole Collette; six brothers: Alyre, Melas, David, Robert, Leo and Fidele; two sisters: Clara and Rosela, as well as several grandchildren and great-grandchildren; nieces, nephews and friends.
