Audrey Susan (Willey) Ouellet Sr.

 THE VIDEO TRIBUTE HONOURING AUDREY IS AVAILABLE BELOW.

 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Audrey Susan Ouellet (née: Willey) of the Crowsnest Pass, Alberta who was called into the arms of our Lord on March 5, 2024 at the age of 74 years.

   Audrey was born on May 14, 1949 in Toronto, ON to proud parents, Frank and Ruby Willey.  As she blossomed into a lovely young lady, Audrey won the heart of a kind and devoted young man, Maurice Ouellet, and on June 26, 1971, they pledged their love in holy matrimony.  Shortly after, Audrey and Maurice were blessed with three wonderful children and much later, her precious grandson, Garett.  It was in her family that she found the greatest joy; every moment spent together was a cherished gift.  She also enjoyed bowling, swimming, baking pies, tending her beautiful yard and garden, watching Judge Judy and King of Queens, cheering on her Calgary Flames, and working at Chris’ Restaurant in Coleman.  The death of her beloved Maurice in 2008 caused her much grief but her devotion to her family carried her through the hard times.  Audrey loved people and her extended family at Chris’ were extra special in her heart.  She worked hard her entire life and it took its toll on her health.  The last few years were taxing and at long last Audrey can finally rest in the eternal promise of our Lord where she walks hand in hand with her beloved Maurice.  She will be dearly missed by all those who knew her and let us keep her in our hearts and minds forever more.

   She is survived by her children, Nelson (Christine) Ouellet, Audrey (Greg Koester) Ouellet and Tammy (Ben) Raugust; her grandson, Garett; her brother-in-law, Denis; her nephews, Norm (Cheryl), Steven, Austin and Ethan; and her extended family and many friends.  She was predeceased by her husband, Maurice Ouellet; her parents, Frank and Ruby Willey; her siblings, Harold Willey, Marjorie Ouellet; and nephew Danny Ouellet.

   The Funeral Service celebrating Audrey’s life will be held on Friday, March 15, 2024 at 11am at Fantin’s Funeral Chapel in Blairmore, AB with Pastor Peter Dunbar officiating.  Interment will occur in the family section of the New Blairmore Union Cemetery with Nelson Ouellet, Norm Ouellet, Steven Ouellet, Ben Raugust, Charles Timms and Rudy Schuh acting as pallbearers, and Denis Ouellet as honorary pallbearer.  Donations in memory of the late Audrey Ouellet may be directed to the Kidney Foundation or to a college fund for her grandson, Garett (PO Box 928, Coleman, AB T0K 0M0).  Condolences may be registered at www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca.
