Yvette was known to be a very dainty and classy lady.\u00a0 She was always well dressed, wearing the perfect pair of heels to match her outfit.\u00a0\u00a0She began working at a very young age at Roach\u2019s Clothing Store in Cheticamp (Willie \u00e0 Charles) and eventually made her way to Toronto, Halifax, and Montreal to work for the Robert Simpson Company.\u00a0 In 1976, she and her husband James finally made the move back home and because of her passion for the retail business, she decided to open her own ladies\u2019 clothing store – AuCoin des Dames. For 33 years, she took pride in serving many customers who often became friends. Yvette also enjoyed traveling and seeing other parts of the world.\u00a0 She was quiet but loved to entertain, clean, and spend time with her family, especially her sister Simone who was also her best friend. Although Yvette did not have any children of her own, she had a special bond with her niece Sharlene.\u00a0 Yvette will be greatly missed.<\/p>\n
The family wishes to send a special thank you to Dr. Am\u00e9lie Maillet and Dr. Kassy Sonier as well the staff at the Foyer P\u00e8re Fiset for their care of Yvette during the past 5 years.<\/p>\n
