Dr. Paul and Ann Receveur

Albany, IN. Born on March 20, 1936, in New Albany, Paul led a life marked by dedication, innovation, care, and service.Paul completed his undergraduate studies at St. Meinrad, earning a Bachelor of Arts, followed by a Doctor of Medicine from the University of Louisville in 1968. His professional life was diverse and impactful, having founded Receveur Construction, and working concurrently as a family doctor and an anesthesiologist until his retirement in 2001. Some of his most sage advice came from his medical career. He was known as the doctor in the hospital that wore jeans when everyone else was in a suit and tie. In his words “Do not conform, and succeed despite it.” In addition to his civilian career, Paul served honorably in the 101st Airborne Division of the US Army for two years, where he exemplified courage and commitment. Paul was a man of many interests including music, construction, woodworking, boating, and reading. He cherished time spent with his grandchildren, passing on his love for hands-on creativity and the joys of life on the water. Additionally, he was known to be a gifted vocalist throughout his life, always joining choir at whatever school or collage he was attending at the time. He never sang professionally, though one of his last wishes was fulfilled this year, performing publicly in a venue (with the assistance of his daughter Joanna).

He is survived by his sisters, Suzanne and Mary Lou; his children, Paul, Joanna, Katie, and Tim; grandchildren, Jahsmine, Zora Ann, Liliann, Jack, Nellie, Beverly, Alex, and Sam; and great-grandchild, Maya. Paul was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Ann E. Receveur; siblings, Dr. Robert 'Bob' Receveur, Nancy Receveur; and parents, Leona and Cletus Receveur.
