Donald’s Obituary
Obituary for: Chabot, Donald George
Long-time resident of Donnelly & Peace River, Alberta, passed away on the 27th of June, 2021 in Peace River at the age of 81 yrs. Donald was born July 14th, 1939 on his family homestead near Jean-Côté corner.
On July 1, 1965, Don married the love of his life, Yvonne Fournier, and together they raised 4 children. Don was always a hard worker who farmed, owned three companies, including Donnelly Corner Esso, and worked as a laborer in different positions. Loving anything & everything to do with the outdoors, he camped and spent much of his time fishing at the lake in Joussard.
In 1999, Don had a significant injury while operating a tractor which caused him to lose his leg at the knee. This event led to them moving to Peace River a few years later, where he and Yvonne made their new home.
Don was predeceased by his brother, Leo and sister, Margaret, along with 9 other siblings who did not survive the birthing process. Don is survived by his wife Yvonne, his children Hervey (Sylvia), Wayne (Sheona), Annette (Jeff), Louis (Diane), 10 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren.
