Emile (King) Painchaud

Peacefully at the Victoria General Hospital on Monday, September 21, 2015, Emile (King) Painchaud of Fannystelle, Manitoba passed away at the age of 78 years.

He leaves to mourn his loving wife of 51 years, Florence (née Demers); two children Marc (Audrey) and Lynne (Joe). He also leaves to mourn three brothers, Noel (Doris), Gilles (Aline) and Lorrain (Elva); as well as two sisters-in-law Rita Painchaud and Juliette Painchaud and many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Emile was predeceased by his parents Raymond and Annette Painchaud; brothers Henri, Maurice and a sister Raymonde (Jules) Ménard.

Beside his family, farming was his life. In later years he enjoyed fishing and going camping. As soon as the snow started flying he headed south to his winter home in Mesa, Arizona. We were very fortunate to enjoy 26 wonderful years going there.

Funeral Mass will be celebrated in the Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in Fannystelle, Manitoba on Friday, September 25, 2015 at 2 pm with Father Armand Le Gal and Father Lawrence Chibue Agorchukwu officiating. Interment will take place after Mass in the Parish Cemetery.
