Tessier, Carole Ina (Née Pellerin)

1959-2025 

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Carole, 65, passed peacefully with her family by her side on Saturday, the 19th of July. 

Carole was born on July 21, 1959 in Sturgeon Falls, ON, the daughter of Georges Pellerin and Madeleine Desrosiers (both predeceased). She is survived by her loving husband of 44 years Gérard (Gerry), her treasured children, Pierre (Shannon Tessier) and Joé (Chantale Gravelle), her cherished grandchildren, Troy, Echo, Felix, Olivia and Catrine.  Dearly loved sister of Hughie Smith, Richard Pellerin (predeceased), Francine Venne (Michel Venne), Roger Pellerin (predeceased) (Ghislaine Dénommé), Nicole St-George (predeceased) (Gerald St-George) and June Pellerin Fleury (Andy Fleury).  

Carole is also survived by her loving mother in law Yvette Tessier, and Gerry’s 15 siblings and their families, who she also loved very much. 

Carole had a big heart.  She worked as a bus driver for 20 years as well as cleaned houses for many more.  She loved to bake, sing and play guitar, but most of all, she enjoyed spending time with her family, especially at Christmas with her grandchildren.  She loved going to her camp on Deer Lake and taking care of her flowers. She was a loving spouse, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend.

The family would also like to thank all who cared for Carole throughout these past months, especially Dr. Erin Frood and staff at the hospice for the loving care provided during this difficult time. Donations can be made directly to the Maison McCulloch Hospice https://maisonsudburyhospice.org/donate  on her behalf.

As per Carole’s wishes there will not be visitation or celebration of life.
