MELANSON, Ernest (Ernie) Joseph – Age 83. Born April 7th, 1936 in Church Point, he passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday, February 8, 2020 after a short battle with cancer with his loving family. Ernest lived a life full of family, friends, laughter, caring, generosity and love.
He is survived by the love of his life and “sunshine”, Yvonne, for over 62 years of marriage, and fortunate to have had a loving family; daughter, Michele (Jon); sons, Tim (Sue) and Gary (Kate); and his caring granddaughter, sometimes referred to as his “Little Buddy”, Kristy (Greg). He was predeceased by his father, Vincent, and mother, Eulalie; brothers, Arnold, John and Rev. Hector; sisters, Agnita and Loretta. He is survived by his brother, Phil (Fran); many cousins, nieces and nephews.
He was grateful for his extended family and all those too many to name that visited or sent their best wishes; in particular, Joe/Karen, Emile/Sally, Alphonse and Anna for their many visits and laughs as the end neared.
Cremation has taken place under the care of Meghan Funeral Home.
A funeral service will be held Saturday, February 15th, 2020 at 11 a.m. in St. Mary’s Church, Church Point, with visitation one hour prior to the service.
