Suddenly but peacefully, on Monday January 4, 2010, Noé Bédard reached his journey’s end at the age of 87. He was born in La Broquerie, MB on March 13, 1922 where he lived his entire life. Noé had a love for farming and did so till the age of 75. He enjoyed telling stories of his younger years. Visits from his children and grandchildren also made him very happy. Noé will be sadly missed by his wife of 62 years, Hélène (née Verrier), his children Denise Beaudoin (Jacques Tessier), Doris (Danny Stelmack), Raymond (Linda Johnson), Anne (Alain Nadeau) and Albert (Monique née Poiron); his 22 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren.

His grandchildren Shelly Stelmack, Éric Bédard and great-grandson Dawson Nadeau will greet him in Heaven. Words cannot express how much “Pépèrez” meant to all of us. His weary days of pain, his troubled nights are passed; he has found rest at last. Cherished memories of him will always remain forever in our hearts because those we love remain with us. They are never more than a thought away. Thank you to the doctors and staff of the Ste. Anne Hospital and the Peritoneal Dialysis Unit of the St. Boniface Hospital for their care and compassion.
