Village of Welwyn, RM of Moosomin plan to amalgamate

Paisiblement, entouré de sa famille, Monsieur André Bauche est décédé le 22 mai, 2020 à la Villa Youville à Ste-Anne, Manitoba à l’âge de 91 ans. Fils d’Henry Bauche et d`Odile Mahin, il est né à la maison près d’Antler, Saskatchewan le 17 mars, 1929 et grandit avec ses frères et sœurs Gilbert, Noella, Lucie, Maurice, Emile et Roger. Jeune agriculteur, il épouse, le 18 octobre 1955, Céline Martin à Redvers, Sask. Héritant de la ferme paternelle, ils y élèvent leur famille. En plus de son épouse, 64 ans de mariage, il laisse dans le deuil son fils Bernard (Nancy) et leurs enfants Chantal, Matthieu, Mila (Jordan Miller) et Thomas, sa fille Monique (Paul de Moissac) et leurs enfants Pierre (Kheira), Nathalie, Serge, Sylvie et Jacques, et sa fille Hélène (Brent Clarke) et leurs enfants David, Celeste (Kurtis Seaborg), Nicole et Michel. En plus il laisse 9 arrière-petits-enfants: Burklee, Memfis et Timber Miller, Arianne, Leah et Isabelle de Moissac, et Konrad, Lincoln et Roman Seaborg.

André et Céline ont ``fait la ferme`` tout près d’Antler pour près de 60 ans. La ferme était toujours un endroit occupé car André, homme à tout faire et bon soudeur, avait toujours le temps d’aider un membre de la famille, un voisin ou même un itinérant qui avait besoin d’un coup de main. Paroissien de St-Maurice à Bellegarde il s’est impliqué comme syndic, Chevalier de Colomb et comme bénévole pour beaucoup d’activités dans la communauté. Il présida même l’Association de Développement Rural qui fit construire l’aréna et le curling de Bellegarde. Bon travaillant, nulle tâche n`était à son épreuve et il encourageait les autres par son exemple.

André était très fier de ses 13 petits-enfants qui lui ont redonné le goût pour la vie après son accident cérébro-vasculaire. Entre autres, il leur a montré comment conduire le tracteur ou le camion dans les champs, à bricoler à son établi, et à voir les choses avec un aspect écologique. Ils se souviendront tous des soirées sur la ferme avec grandpapa et ses feux de camp et ses feux d’artifice.

Tous se souviendront d’André comme un homme entrepreneur, positif, et généreux de son temps qui se souciait toujours du bien-être de sa famille, de ses voisins et des gens qu’il rencontrait.

Vu les contraintes actuelles liées au Covid-19, les funérailles de Monsieur André Bauche auront lieu à Bellegarde, Saskatchewan à une date ultérieure. Les gens qui le désirent peuvent faire un don en sa mémoire à la Villa Youville. La famille tient aussi à remercier le personnel de la Villa Youville ainsi que Sr. Irène Rioux pour les bons soins prodigués à notre époux, papa et grandpapa durant sa maladie.

André passed away peacefully on May 22, 2020 in St. Anne MB, with his wife, Celine, and his family by his side. He was born to Henry and Odile Bauche in their family home near Antler, SK on March 17, 1929. As a young farmer, he married Céline Martin on October 18, 1955. André is survived by his wife Céline of 64 years; his son Bernard (Nancy) and their children Chantal, Matthieu, Mila (Jordan Miller), and Thomas; daughter Monique (Paul de Moissac) and their children Pierre (Kheira), Nathalie, Serge, Sylvie, and Jacques; daughter Hélène (Brent Clarke) and their children, David, Celeste (Kurtis Seaborg), Nicole, and Michael; and 9 great-grandchildren - Burklee, Memfis, and Timber Miller; Arianne, Leah and Isabelle de Moissac; and Konrad, Lincoln, and Roman Seaborg.

André and Céline farmed near Antler for almost sixty years. The farmyard was a busy place with local farmers and neighbors stopping by for help or a friendly visit. André, a talented welder and repairman, never turned away anyone who needed a helping hand. He was also involved in the community as a church trustee with the St. Maurice parish in Bellegarde and as a member of the Knights of Columbus. In the mid-1960s, he was chairman of the Rural Development Association that was in charge of building the Bellegarde skating and curling rinks.

André had great admiration for his 13 grandchildren. He taught many of them to drive a standard truck out in an open field. If they were too young to drive, they were allowed to mow grass on his garden tractor. The evenings on grandpa`s farm were the best with bonfires, sparklers, and fireworks.

André will be remembered for being a positive, kind and helpful man who cared very much for the welfare of his family.

Due to the current restrictions on travel and social gatherings, the family will plan a funeral and burial in Bellegarde, Saskatchewan at a later date. If anyone wants to commemorate André`s life, please consider a donation to the Villa Youville nursing home in Ste-Anne, MB. The family is very thankful to the Villa Youville and to Sister Irene Rioux for the wonderful care and support provided to André.

Family and friends may sign a book of condolence online at www.desjardinsfuneralchapel.ca.
