Obituary of Marcel Ovila Trudel
With his family by his side, Marcel passed away June 7, 2011 after a courageous battle with cancer.
Marcel will be sadly missed by his loving wife of 52 years, Claire and by his children: Francine, Claude and wife Sandy, Colette and husband David as well as his grandchildren: Mark, Cassandra, Skylar and Cole and great grandson Jakob.
He is also survived by his siblings: Denise, Lucien (Ann), Guy (Laurette), Richard, Marielle (Bernard), Real (Jeannette), Raymond (Yolande), Claudette (John) and Rene (Donna) as well as his godmother, Cecile Malo. He was predeceased by his parents Joseph and Cleophee and brothers; Jean, Gilbert and Roger and in-laws: Paul, Helene and Leona.
Marcel was born in St. Malo, MB June 24, 1935. He worked at many jobs including MTS and plumbing before training as a firefighter in 1962 and working for D.N.D. as a firefighter at C.F.S. Gypsumville. In 1979 he suffered a heart attack and was not able to continue in the job he loved so he re-trained and work at the power plant. In 1986 they moved to Brandon where he worked at C.F.B. Shilo until his retirement in 1995.
Marcel loved the outdoors and was an avid fisherman and hunter. One of his great joys was fishing or hunting with his children and grandchildren. Or just sitting around with the family talking and telling stories – he had a million of them. We will miss hearing them.
Funeral services will be held Saturday at 11:00 am, June 11, 2011 at the St. Malo Roman Catholic Church.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
We love you.
