Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryRENE JOSEPH LEVESQUE Peacefully on April 25, 2013, Rene Joseph Levesque in his 94th year passed away at the South Health Campus Hospital in Calgary, AB. Rene is lovingly remembered by his daughter Karen (Grant) Buchko, daughter-in-law Kathy (Ray) Levesque, granddaughters Jennifer (Eamon) Sloan, Krista (Aron) Johnston, Noelle (Josh) Jordan, Lisa (Thomas) Simon; great- grandchildren Madison Sloan, Ella and Ava Jordan, Mathis and Loic Simon; sisters Blanche, Francis and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his wife, Rose in 2008 and his son, Raymond in 2004; brothers Emile, Robert; sisters Marie Celia (Millie), Dolores, Adrienne, Armand, Phyllis, Amy. Rene was born on May 6, 1919 in Vassar, MB to Delia Grouette and Philias Levesque. He met his Rosie at a dance in Winnipeg, married in 1947 and together celebrated 61 years of marriage. He saw the beauty in nature and especially enjoyed his cabin at Grand Marais, sitting on the screened deck, playing old records, watching the birds and spending time with his family. He always had a twinkle in his eye and will be remembered as a kind and caring father and papa. His joy was in his family - always there for support and endless patience, especially with his granddaughters. In Rene's memory, donations can be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association, 200 - 310 Broadway, Winnipeg, MB R3C 0S6. His wish was for a graveside service in Winnipeg on a beautiful summer day. Graveside service will be held on July 27, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. at the Saint Boniface Cemetery, 917 Archibald St., Winnipeg, MB.

It's so true he always had a twinkle in his eye, absolutely inherited by his children Ray and Karen and a wonderful genetic trait to pass along to the Levesque grandchildren - Posted by: janet and marcel hebert (friends) on: May 19, 2013
