MAURICE HUBERT CHARLES JOSEPH MOUSSEAU
November 3, 1928 - November 17, 2019

It is with heavy hearts that the family of Maurice Mousseau announce the sudden but peaceful passing of our dear father, grandfather and great-grandfather, on November 17, 2019, at the age of 91 years.
He will be greatly missed by his family; daughter Karen (John); sons, Raymond and David; grandchildren, Thomas and Danielle (Jonathan); great-grandson Leighton; sisters, Antonia and Jeanine (Roland); sisters-in-law, Aline and Jacqueline. He will also be remembered by many nieces, nephews and friends. He was predeceased by his brothers, Paul, Georges, Lucien; and sister Annette.
Maurice was born to Antonin and Fabiola in St. Boniface, MB. He was the fourth of seven children. He attended Provencher School (an all-boys school) until grade 11, where he played for the school hockey and baseball teams. As a teenager, he also loved boxing which he did at the local gym. Maurice bowled in a men's 10-pin bowling league at Chateau Lanes and Club LaVerendrye for many years with his brothers, Paul and Georges. He was an avid sports fan, often attending hockey, football and baseball games with his family and friends. Maurice enjoyed coaching women's baseball in his younger years and boys' baseball when raising his family. Maurice worked at the Hudson Bay Company downtown store (in the Dairy Department) for five years where he met Pauline, who would become his future wife. They married in 1955, having a strong relationship of togetherness for more than 63 years until her passing in 2018. In 1952, Maurice began working at the Canadian News Company where he had a progressive 41 year career. He started as a delivery truck driver and advanced to the top company position of General Manager for the final 11 years, retiring in June 1993. In 1976, Maurice and Polly built a cottage in Ponemah, MB where they enjoyed many years of entertaining and relaxing with family and friends. They also enjoyed going on casino trips and winter vacations to Florida. Maurice was a fun-loving and generous man who enjoyed socializing with his family and friends. He always supported his children and grandchildren in their endeavours and really enjoyed spending time with his new great-grandson.
The family would like to thank all the attending paramedics and police officers for their kindness and compassion during this difficult time. And thanks to their friends and staff at Devonshire House II, for all the support and kindness they showed towards our parents during their stay over the past six plus years.
A funeral mass will be held on Friday, November 29, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Joseph the Worker Parish, 505 Brewster St.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Manitoba or CancerCare Manitoba Foundation.
