COMEAU, Yvonne Jan. 5, 1914 – Oct. 27, 2020
Yvonne (Deveau) Comeau passed away in Yarmouth Regional Hospital after living a long, healthy, and humble life of 106 years. After her husband, Delphis à Capite, died in 1978, Yvonne stayed in her family home surrounded by her three children and their families who diligently provided her with love, food, and care. Yvonne often expressed her gratitude for receiving the care she had once given. Her life was simple. She loved flowers, admired the ocean and the sunsets from her front parlour, outlived her dog Mindy and cat Cookie and cherished the presence of every bird on her property. Her endearing personality always exuded an authentic smile and a palpable and contagious sense of joyful living. She truly enjoyed the numerous visitors who were drawn to her and her stories of olden times: her first car ride, her sighting of Lindbergh as he flew over Meteghan in 1927, her school days, her family’s self-sustaining lifestyle. She attributed her longevity to the fresh milk of the family’s three cows. Since Delphis and Yvonne were both born in large families, she became Tante Yvonne to numerous nieces and nephews on both the Comeau and Deveau sides, many of them keeping up regular visits over the years. As one of the last survivors and voices of her generation, she will be sadly missed by all. Her memory will remain as a living example of love and kindness. Yvonne was predeceased by her parents, Joseph (Josie) Deveau and Thérèse Robichaud; her siblings, Louis (Melinda), Élise (Camille) Robichaud, Fidèle (Lucie), Édouard (Virginie), Céleste (Ralph) Comeau, Désiré (Élizabeth), Camille (May), Lucina (Ben) D’Entremont, and Jeannette (Jean) Theriault. She leaves to mourn her children, Jeannette (Gérald, deceased) Comeau, Mélinda (Larry) Smith, Delbé (Mary Guptill) Comeau, and grandchildren, Rachelle (Marc) Lavoie with daughter Caroline, Michel (Donna) Comeau with daughter Natalie, Cédric (Holly Scribner) Smith, and Rosiane Comeau.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, there will be a private funeral mass in Église Sacré-Coeur, Saulnierville, officiated by Rev. Mathieu Agbaya. Donations can be made to the VON or to a charity of your choice.
