Obituary for Yolande Poitras

Yolande Poitras, 75, of Grand–Barachois passed away on Tuesday, December 17th, 2019 at the Dr. Georges–L. Dumont UHC. Born in Bas–Cap–Pelé, she was the daughter of the late René and Madeleine (LeBlanc) Vautour.

Yolande was known for her entrepreneurial spirit. Alongside her husband, they managed Poitras Cottages at Gagnon Beach and had a canteen chip wagon on the Pointe–du–Chêne wharf known as Chez Yolande. She was also known as the “fudge lady” of Candy Village Fudge Shop. She was loved by many and will also be missed by many. Yolande always put others needs ahead of her own.

She is survived by her husband, Guy; two daughters: Janice Payne (Donald) of Haute–Aboujagane and Jocelyne McGraw (Jacques) of Cormier Village; siblings: Gérard (Val) of Dartmouth NS, Omer (Doris) of Shediac, Rachel Léger (Daniel) of Burton NB and Roger Breau (Aline) of Port Neuf QC; sister–in–law: Gisèle Breau of Shediac; four grandchildren: Jessica, Ghislain, Stéphanie and Gabriel; two great grandchildren: Dallas and Emma.

Yolande was predeceased by two brothers: Oscar Breau and Francis Gould.

The family will receive condolences at Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, 396 Main Street, Shediac on Friday, December 27th from 6 pm till 9 pm and on Saturday, December 28th from 10 am till time of chapel service at 11 am.

In memory of Yolande, a contribution to the CHU Dumont Foundation, Dialysis dept. 4F and because of her love for small dogs, SPCA, would be appreciated.

Cremation and funeral arrangements are under the direction of Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, Shediac (532–3297). Words of comfort and online condolences may be forwarded through our website at: www.frenettefuneralhome.com
