 Gene Pelletier 1938-2008 Gene Pelletier was born at Turtleford Saskatchewan November 26, 1938 to Theodore and Helen Pelletier. His grew up on the homestead at Timberlost, near Big River, Saskatchewan. In 1956, at the age of 17, Gene now being the oldest at home, set out with his Dad for Whitehorse, Yukon. After finding jobs and a home, they brought the remainder of the family to Whitehorse. Gene’s parents lived there until their passing. Gene and Donna declared their love by marriage in December 1974. Donna often had competition for Gene’s love, having to share him with his beloved Dog Casey and his yellow dump truck, which was his prize “Possession”, and his passion for gardening. This year was the first in 30 years that Gene could not have a garden. Gene was predeceased by his brother Sonny Pelletier. He is survived by his wife Donna of 34 years, daughter Angie, granddaughter Lisa and two great grandsons, siblings: Ben (Lorraine) Pelletier, Bernadine (Morris) Nordine, Marcella (John) Fonos, Delphone Fortier, Cecilia (Floyd) Matthews, Noele Pelletier and Brine Pelletier, and numerous nieces, nephews, and friends. Gene was a “Jack of all Trades” and “A Master to Many”. He was a great teacher, passing his knowledge on to anyone who wanted to learn. Gene was a stubborn and strong willed child, a feature that he maintained as he battled his illness. The illness may have weakened his body but it never weakened his passion for life. Gene will be greatly missed by all. A memorial Service was held on November 1, 2008 at the Taylor Curling Rink, officiated by Pastor Wally Pohlmann. |
