It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Marjorie Mary Doucett, 82, of South Bathurst which occurred Friday evening, May 19th at the Chaleur Regional Hospital after a brief illness.
The daughter of Lewis Roy and Margaret (Melanson) Roy, Marjorie was born in Bathurst in 1934. She married Gordon J Doucett in 1955 who predeceased her in 1961. Marjorie was an excellent designer and seamstress whose talents and skills were secured by Lounsbury’s clothing department and clients in the community. Her hobbies included knitting, crocheting, needle point, woodworking and star gazing. She had a sense of wonderment for the natural world and a deep appreciation for literature and music. A champion of the arts, she was a regular volunteer for the Bathurst Music Festival. Marjorie was a devoted mother, grandmother, aunt, sister and friend. She will be greatly missed by her family and all those whose lives she touched.
She is survived by her daughters Janet (Bathurst), Catherine (Bathurst) and Paulette Doucett (Dr. A Unger, Saskatoon). She is survived by her brother Peter Roy (Patricia Gagnon) of Bathurst and two sisters, Barbara Aube (Ralph) of Beresford, Ann Hewlyn (Hiram) of Cormack, NF, along with her many beloved nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by three sisters, Carmelita Peters (Eric), Henrietta Allcott (Gerald) and Rose Frenette (Leo).
Visitation will be held on Friday (May 26, 2017) evening from 6-8 pm at Elhatton Funeral Home, 187 St. George St, Bathurst. A memorial service will be held at a later date. The family extends a heartfelt thank you to the staff at the Chaleur Regional Hospital especially to those trained in and passionate about palliative care. Donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Arrangements are in the care of Elhatton`s Funeral Home (www.elhatton.com), Bathurst.
