Armand E. Gervais Obituary

C’est avec un profond chagrin que la famille Gervais annonce le décès de monsieur Armand E. Gervais, survenu le vendredi 31 janvier 2020 à Sudbury, à l’âge de 82 ans. Fils de feu Camille Gervais et de feu Laurencia Brabant. Époux de Rachel Gervais (née Laframboise) (Luise). Père bien-aimé de Sylvie Gervais-Leduc (Raymond), Michel (David) et de feu Alain (Pauline). Grand- père de Justien, Vincent et Alexandre. Lui survivent également ses frères Gérald (Lucille), Rolland (Sue) et Jean-Paul (Micheline). Prédécédé par ses deux sœurs Rita Lefebvre (feu Roger) et Simonne Bertrand (feu Conrad). Armand a dédié sa vie à l’enseignement du français, à la promotion de la francophonie et des arts et à la chose la plus précieuse, sa famille. Gradué du Collège du Sacré Cœur, ou il a débuté sa carrière d’enseignant en 1961. Il a ensuite œuvré auprès des écoles publiques de Parry Sound, Levack et Copper Cliff comme professeur de français pour ensuite retourner a ses sources francophones en enseignant à Franco-Jeunesse et à l’École Secondaire McDonald Cartier ou il a terminé sa carrière d’enseignant. Une de ses plus grande joie était la musique et le chant. Armand participa activement à la Chorale du Centenaire et la Chorale des Muguets dont il était très fier. Il participa aussi à la chorale de l’église Ste. Anne des Pins et dirigea la chorale de Noël à l’église de l’Annonciation. Dans les années ‘80 il a été membre du comité du Théâtre du Nouvel Ontario. La famille tient à remercier le personnel de St. Joseph’s Villa, secteur Gardenway et Sunnyside, où il a habité pendant 10 ans, pour leur grand dévouement et affection pour Armand ainsi qu’à toute la famille lors de sa dernière semaine. Nous devons remercier très particulièrement Anna des services «Caring for Loved Ones ». Rachel et les enfants sont à préparer la célébration de sa vie qui sera annoncée à une date ultérieure. Les services d’incinération sont sous la direction de Simple Wishes of the North, Sudbury
