Lieu de décès : Glace Bay
With deepest sorrow, we announce the passing of our cherished husband, father, grandfather, and friend, Jude Sheldon Aucoin, age 72, 1 Princess St., Glace Bay, on Sept. 23, 2015. He died as he lived, surrounded by family and friends, after a 25-year struggle with Parkinson's Plus Syndrome.
Born in Glace Bay, Jude was employed by Devco. He was a hard-working, family-dedicated, gentleman who enjoyed the company of family and friends. His greatest accomplishment was in raising and educating his 'chosen' children who meant everything to him.
Jude is survived by his loving wife, Linda (MacDonald), son Andre, Halifax, daughters, Chere (Earl) Deveau, Eastern Passage, and Bette Lou Aucoin, Glace Bay, and his five grandchildren, William, Rhys, Payton, Benjamin and Nicholas.
Jude was very sad to leave behind his siblings, Mary Roy-Bremner, Chester, N.S., Carmel Wadden, Lorraine (Tom) Rogers, Statia (Garfield) White, Steve (Gladys) and Jerry, all of Glace Bay with whom he shared a close bond.
Jude was predeceased by his parents James and Mercedes (Colombe) Aucoin and several siblings.
Upon his passing, Jude's request was fulfilled when his body was accepted by Dalhousie Medical School as an aid for teaching and research.
A memorial service will be held on Monday, Sept. 28, 2015 at 11 a.m. at St Mary's Church, Marconi Street, Glace Bay.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Parkinson's Society of Canada.
