They were both active in the St. Vital Catholic Church spending much time helping to develop the parish through fundraising activities such as turkey shoots and bingo. Over this time they became close friends of the Morand family and often played cards with Reverend Father Morand.

She was predeceased by her husband Les in 1987; parents Edmond and Virginie Perreault; sisters Edmee Pietryk, Elmire Preston; and her two brothers Edward and Celestin Perreault. Estelle leaves to cherish her memory nephew James Pietryk (Carol), nieces Lynda Boone (Joe), Jocelyn Tetreault (Mark) and Patricia Gallagher, great nieces, great-great nieces and nephews.
