Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryMARCEL FILLION
Peacefully, on January 24, 2024, Marcel Fillion, age 95 of St. Joseph, MB passed away at the Altona Hospital.
Marcel was born on October 1, 1928 in St. Jean Baptiste, MB. He was the second eldest of 15 children born to Leona (Delorme) and Adonias Fillion. After his marriage to Adéline Gregoire, they began their lives as farmers in St. Joseph, MB.
Family was very important to Marcel. He was an honest, hardworking, bright and kind man. He was involved in numerous committees and organizations, one being a councillor in the Montcalm Municipality. Marcel was always willing to lend a helping hand when needed. His hearty laughter and the mischievous look in his eyes will be missed.
He is survived by his children, Denis (Réjane) Fillion, Gisèle (Donald) Sabourin, Janine (Gilbert) Durand, Michel (Rick) Fillion, and Adéline (Rick) Sellwood, as well as 11 direct grandchildren and many great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his wife Adéline, two of their sons, Jacques and Gérard, as well as their son-in-law Neil, finally being reunited with them in God’s home.
We would like to thank Gardens on Tenth for the excellent care given in Dad‘s last years. We also thank the staff at the Altona Hospital.
Prayers will be held at the St. Joseph Catholic Church on Friday, February 2 at 7:30 p.m. Funeral mass will be held at the church on Saturday, February 3 at 2:00 p.m. with rosary, viewing, and eulogy beginning at 1:00 p.m.

Marcel nous accueillait toujours avec un sourire. Chez eux, à la salle paroissiale, chez ses frères et sœurs, son visage s’éclairait, ses yeux pétillaient lorsque nous arrivions. Sa gentillesse, sa courtoisie, et sa bonne humeur ne faisaient jamais défaut. Il avait une grande qualité: il savait donner et partager. Son sourire reflétait sa personnalité heureuse, et c’est se souvenir de lui que je vais garder. - Posted by: Jean Gordon Fillion (Sister in Law) on: Jan 29, 2024
