On Saturday, November 16th, 2024, at the age of 80, Lucille Fougère passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones at the Sacred Heart Community Health Centre in Cheticamp, N.S.
She was the daughter of the late Delphin and the late Mary Mae (LeFort) Aucoin. Lucille was also predeceased by her sister, Norma. In passing, she is reunited with her loving husband, Alex Fougère, to continue their love of dancing together.
Lucille is survived by her children, Brenda (Billy), Troy (Monica), and Norma (Jamie); sister, Shirley Sullivan; and grandchildren, Alex (Raymond), Matthieu (Kaila), Sarah (Josh), Remi and Jacob.
Born October 6th, 1944, Lucille was a wonderful mother, mémère and friend, always there when she was most needed to offer her support, wisdom and abundance of love. A hairdresser and lifelong homemaker, Lucille was an expert at creating a welcoming space for her loved ones. She was a well loved community pillar, known for her hooked rugs, love of music and dancing, taking countless hairstylist under her wings, and starting the Relay for Life in Cheticamp. She enjoyed gardening, cooking family recipes passed down through the generations, and volunteering in her community. Whether out and about or home caring for her family, she was looking sharp in her bold red lipstick, ready to offer comfort and a listening ear.
Lucille’s love and presence will be profoundly missed by all who knew her. Her legacy of kindness, generosity, and devotion to her family will continue to inspire and guide us.
Cremation has taken place and there will be an open graveside service for family and friends on Tuesday, November 26th at 10:30 AM, at St. Peter’s Cemetery, Cheticamp, followed by a reception at the Royal Canadian Legion. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Lucille’s memory to the Cape Breton Cancer Patient Fund.
