Rose-Aimée Arbour Doyle

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our mother Rose Aimée (Arbour) Doyle. She peacefully slipped into the afterlife at the Campbellton Regional Hospital on October 29th, 2020, at the age of 92 years and 10 months.

She was born in St-Siméon, on the Gaspe Coast, on December 27, 1927 to Mars and Adeline (Poirier) Arbour. During the great depression, in 1933 her father lost his job at the mill in Listuguj where they lived (in the flats) at the time, so they moved to St-Fidèle. She ended up having to stay home to help her mother after completing grade 5 but lack of a better education she did not stop her from becoming a writer for the newspaper "Le Soleil". At the age of 18, she married my dad Maurice Doyle and they had a very happy 24 years until a heart attack took him from her. They had two girls Irene and Margaret, she kept herself busy bringing them up.… Many years later she met Adelard Vautour and was his partner for 25 years, until cancer separated them.  She worked at the Continental store for years. She loved to take photos, write each day what was happening in her life, she loved to garden, dance, do puzzles and in her later days she did "Mots Cachés" till her eyes gave up on her. Until her admission to the hospital, she lived alone in her home in Cross Point.

Besides her two daughters, she leaves to mourn  two sisters: Jeanne-Mance (deceased Georges) Pitre and  Lucille (Walter) Caissy;  her grandchildren: Johanne, Lisa, Michelle and Robert; her great Grandchildren: Michelle, Erica, Candice, Shana, Nathan and Taylor and many great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her parents, a young sister Alpheda, Rosaria and brother Evariste, her husband Maurice and her friend Adelard.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic and social distancing protocols, there will be no visitation and no funeral at this time.
