Albert Pelletier

Albert Pelletier, a beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully in his sleep on July 14, 2026, at the age of 86. Born on November 18, 1939, in the close-knit community of Saint Francois de Madawaska, New Brunswick, Albert was the son of Emilie Emond Pelletier and Norbert Pelletier. His life was a tapestry of love, laughter, and dedication to family and community. Albert was predeceased by his cherished wife, Rose, with whom he shared a life full of love and partnership since their marriage on September 1, 1962, in Fort Kent, Maine. He was also preceded by his sister Berthe Caouette, and brothers Oneil, Donald, Guildo, and Yvonne, each of whom he held dearly in his heart. Surviving Albert are his devoted children: daughter Hilda and her husband Kirk of Hiram, Georgia; son Joel of Bridgeport, Connecticut; son Larry and his husband Paul of Ventura, California; and son Donald and his wife Kim of Fort Kent, Maine. Albert was also a proud grandfather to Emily, Hana, and Nicholas, who brought immense joy to his life and were the apples of his eye. Albert is also survived by his sisters Aldea Bedard and her husband Gerard of Ste. Foye, Quebec, and Louise of Edmunston, New Brunswick, as well as his brothers Zoel of Sudbury, Ontario, and Herve of The Villages, Florida. Each member of his family held a special place in his heart, and he cherished the time spent with them. A skilled carpenter by trade, Albert's career was unfortunately cut short by an on-the-job accident. Nevertheless, he took great pride in his accomplishments, including becoming an American citizen and being an active member of the Knights of Columbus, where he enjoyed the camaraderie and shared values. Albert's personality was marked by his playful spirit and penchant for making others smile. He was a renowned prankster, known for his contagious laugh that could light up a room. Even in his later years, Albert found delight in his surroundings, often joking with and playfully teasing the staff at County Village Estates. His life will be celebrated on July 28, 2026, at St. Louis Catholic Church, located at 26 E Main St, Fort Kent, Maine. Family and friends will gather to honor the memory of a man who brought joy and laughter to so many. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to County Village Estates, a place that held a special significance in Albert's life. As the family reflects on his passing, they offer this heartfelt message: "Though your smile is gone forever and your hand we cannot touch, we still have so many memories of the one we loved so much." Albert Pelletier's legacy is one of love, laughter, and a life well-lived. He will be profoundly missed, but the memories he created will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
