Maurice J. Aubie "Mossie" passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Wednesday May 31, 2017, at the Foyer Notre Dame de Lourdes, Bathurst, at the age of 89.
Born in Bathurst, he was the son of the late Maurice Sr. and Gertrude (Young) Aubie.
He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Vivian (Grant) Aubie.
Three children: Jocelyne Schwenger (Rick) and Michael Aubie (Mary) both of Bathurst and Denise Rainsberry (Bob) of Sudbury, ON.
Four grandchildren: Erin (Greg), Jeff, Sara and Holly; two great grandchildren: Laura and Peter.
His sister, Marguerite Hachey (Aurele) of Bathurst. Many nieces and nephews.
He was retired after 37 years from the former Stone-Consolidated pulp and paper mill.
One of his greatest passions in life was enjoying the outdoors which he shared with many of the city’s youth as a Scout leader in the Holy Family parish. After his retirement Mossie could often be seen enjoying a good time with old and new friends on the golf course, cross country ski trails and the curling club. He continued to spend time enjoying the upriver area and the Bay of Chaleur with his lifelong friends and creating wonderful wood creations for his grandchildren. It is a certainty that there is a joyous reunion of the boys going on in a log cabin somewhere.
He was predeceased by three sisters: Nelda, Adrienne, Eleanor and two brothers: Freddy and Hector.
There will be no visitations at the Funeral Home. Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Monday June 5, 2017 at 11 a.m. from Holy Family Church, Bathurst.
The family wishes to thank the wonderful staff of the Foyer Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes for all their care and compassion. Anyone wishing to make a donation may do so to the charity of their choice.
