Andre Emile Villeneuve

His parents, Joseph and Marguerite (Caron) Villeneuve welcome their son into the world on November 19, 1938, in Chambord, Quebec, Canada.

Andre worked as an operations manager with 3M Advertising from 1966 through 2000.

A man of deep faith, he was a longtime parishioner of St. Bernard Church in Keene, and a member of the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Assembly Knights of Columbus 4th Degree.

Andre was a member of the American Red Cross West Chapter in Keene. He was an accomplished carpenter, loved watching western and action movies, and listening to French music. Spending time with his family brought him the greatest joy.

He will be greatly missed by many, especially his wife of 63 years, Ghislaine (Brisson) Villeneuve of Keene; his daughter Suzan Tharpe and husband Jeffrey of Keene; his son Eric Villeneuve and wife Amy of Bow, NH; granddaughters Denyelle Kilgour and husband Spencer, Emily Wallace and husband Ian; grandson Andre W. Villeneuve; great-granddaughter Margot Wallace; brother Robert Villeneuve and wife Danielle of Chicoutimi, Canada; sisters-in-law Marie Brisson of Valleyfield, Canada, Helene Brisson of Montreal, Canada; brother-in-law Alain Brisson of Chicoutimi, Canada; and several nieces, nephews and extended family members. Andre was predeceased by his sons David and Guy; and sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Alida, Jeanette, Maurice, Laurent and Marcel Brisson.

The family wishes to extend their grateful thanks to the staff of Home Healthcare Hospice and Community Services for their care and support to Andre.

Services and burial in the Monadnock View Cemetery, Keene will be held privately by the family.

For those who wish, donations may be made in his memory to one’s favorite charity.
