ADRIEN LOUIS KOLLY
Date of Passing: Dec 27, 2016
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryADRIEN LOUIS KOLLY (1931 - 2016) It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our husband, father, brother, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend. On Tuesday, December 27, Adrien passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family. He will be lovingly remembered by his beloved wife of almost 60 years, Rose (née Le Dévéhat); his son Louis (Jenny), grandchildren, Amy and Carli-Anne (Bob) Pascal and great-granddaughter Brooklyn; his son Denis (Lucille), grandchildren, Stéphanie (Corey) Boult and Dérrick; his son Robert (Rosanna), grandchildren, Allison and Ryan; his daughter Chantal (Tom) Swistun, grandchildren, Collin, Clayton and Garrett; his daughter Eveline (Méril) Rivard, grandchildren, Mathieu, Jérémie, Nicolas and Christian; his three sisters, Marie (Norbert) Bosc, Élisa (Henri) Dion and Annette (Armand) Bosc; as well as many nieces and nephews. Adrien was predeceased by his parents, Joseph and Antonie (née Sauteur); his brother Raymond (Clotilde) and sister Agathe (George) Deroche. Adrien was a spectacularly devoted husband, father and grandfather and was always someone his family could count on. No task ever too small nor too daunting for every challenge he had a strategy. His selfless dedication to others' well-being is something that will forever be remembered. He held true to his character until the very end. Adrien was born on December 21, 1931 in Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes, Manitoba; where he spent his early years on the family farm. He met his beautiful wife, Rose, in 1954 when she first arrived to Canada from France. They were married on June 22, 1957 in St.Claude, Manitoba. Adrien spent the majority of his career in the grain trade industry, having been with Manitoba Pool for 35 years, of which 29 were spent in Dufrost, Manitoba. His dedication and hard work are qualities he emphasized while raising his family. Adrien had a wide array of interests and hobbies including curling, travel, wine and beer making. He made a point of being avid on the computer and was always MacGyvering something around the house. A home bursting with family is what brought him the greatest joy. He was loved by all and will be deeply missed. Special thanks to the staff of 6E at St. Boniface General Hospital who were tremendous in Adrien's final days; also special thanks to Abu from Home Care Services for the care he provided over the past year; and to all the angels at Villa Beliveau for their continued support. A funeral mass will be held on January 5, 2017, at 2:00 p.m. at Église Catholique St. Eugène, 1009 St. Mary's Rd, Winnipeg, Manitoba. Those who wish, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Desjardins 204-233-4949 1-888-233-4949 www.desjardinsfuneralchapel.ca

I am indebted to this man and to his wife Rose. Rose (Le Devehat) is my first cousin twice removed, an aunt to my great-great-grandmother. Their work on a family album has served as one of the foundations upon which I have been able to build a family tree that now extends to over 13,000 people with a heavy concentration in the Saint-Claude and Notre Dame de Lourdes areas in Manitoba, but stretching to many areas of the province, of Canada, and of the world! We are ALL related. Thank you for your part in helping to bring forward to current and future generations, so much shared family history.

I would like to offer my sincere condolences to Mme. Kolly, and all your family. Monsieur Kolly was a kind man, who used to visit with my parents back in the day. I also remember him sharing his homemade wine when I brought my parents over to visit Rose & Adrien in Wpg. Both Rose & Adrien always took the time to visit my parents when they took ill. Prayers are sent your way. Colette - Posted by: Colette Gagnon () on: Dec 31, 2016
