Yvette will be lovingly remembered by her three children Lucie (Noël Jolicoeur), Raymond (Alice) and Normand, her sister Rose-Marie Lamontagne, sister-in-law Aline (Simon Carreiro). She will also be missed by her grandchildren: Louise Jolicoeur-McKenzie and husband Stuart, and son Collin, Richard Jolicoeur and wife Jan, their girls Melanie and Remi, Rhéal Jolicoeur and wife Jolene, Joanne Jolicoeur and friend Max, Joel Dupuis and wife Maria and daughter Aliyah, and Danielle Dupuis. Yvette was predeceased by her loving husband André Dupuis in 1995, parents Antoine and Marie-Rose Lavallée, her brother Paul-Edmond Lavallée, sister Berthe Rajotte. Yvette was born in St. Jean-Baptiste and married André Dupuis where they farmed and distributed milk in town. They had three children and later moved to St. Boniface.
