I am so sorry for the loss of your wife, mother, grandmother, sister, friend. Paulette will always be fondly remembered for her wonderful sense of humour and love of life.
DESMARAIS, Paulette Margaret (née Perrier)June 27, 1946- September 18, 2019It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the sudden, but peaceful passing of Paulette Desmarais after a long and courageous battle with cancer. She will be sadly missed by her husband of 38 years, Luc Desmarais, her loving children Christopher (Jody) Desmarais, Tammy (Dan) Demers, and Kristy (Ben) St.Jean. Loving Nana to Allyson and Jena Demers, Daxx, Atticus and Maddox Desmarais, Carter, Carson and Sadie St.Jean. She is also survived by her brothers Raymond (Sue) Perrier, Dennis (Beckey) Perrier, sister-in-law Linda Perrier, and many nieces, nephews and friends. Paulette is predeceased by her ever-loving parents, Romeo and Edith Perrier, as well as her brothers Romeo Jr. (Sonny), Wayne Perrier and sister-in-law Jeannie Perrier.In Paulette’s world, her faith in God and love for her family were paramount. When most people were hanging Halloween decorations, Paulette was busy hanging Christmas decorations. Her “Jesse Tree” and village were decorated entirely from 50 years of gifted ornaments from friends, family and members of the community. When Paulette wasn’t playing baseball or supporting her beloved Toronto Blue Jays, she was opening her home to children in need through the Children’s Aid Society or playing Bingo. Paulette was the co-founder of the Knights of Columbus Woman’s Auxiliary, and songwriter of “Lonely Tears”, one of the Saturday Night at the Perrier’s greatest hits.Celebration of Life:

Paulette was truly ‘one in a million’ and her ‘light’ will continue to shine through the love she gave to all her family and friends along life’s precious path. Paulette enriched each one of our lives by her presence in our lives. May the good Lord surround you Luc, Tammy, Kristy, and Christopher and all your extended family with ‘His Divine Grace’ as you all journey forth into your tomorrows with the ‘light of Paulette’s love’ carried in your hearts. It has been said that; “Grief is the price we pay for love’ and now Paulette is fully at peace in God’s House and smiling down from above and getting Heaven ready for Christmas. Friendship is a ‘gift’ freely given and one of the blessings of my own life was and is the friendship I had with Paulette – “The ‘B’ of the North” my friend forever and a day…Love “The Bagger”

Hi Luc , Chris ,Tammy & Kristy .. Where do I start ? my memories of Paulette goes back a long way . She was there when anyone needed a word or just a hug . I remember going shopping on a Friday night for her groceries with at least 4 or 5 of us tagging along & pushing the cart & asking her saying MOM we want this too ok !!! & it was a special time for us as young teens . She never turned us away & I am sure there was times she would just want a quiet Friday night . I just want to say she made a big influence on our lives as adults . I will miss her but know some day will play cards with her again ! & sing some bluegrass !!! LOVE always Bob Turcotte xo

It truly breaks my heart to have to write this. You were a true friend and believer in me, and my music, and I will never forget you. So many laughs and good times with you and Luc. A truly treasured time. You were a good friend to me, who always seemed to have the right answers when I needed to hear them most. You were an inspiration to me in my music, and you always encouraged me to keep at it. You loved everyone unconditionally. Your heart was as big as the sky and you were kind to all. A true representation of the Jesus we both love and serve. I will miss your warm smile, your warm hugs and your unique gruff voice. The world is a sadder place today, without our Paulette Desmarais.
