Denis Toullelan
(July 25, 1930 – November 14, 2011)

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Dad and Pépère Denis Toullelan. Dad passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Monday, November 14, 2011 at the Victoria Hospital at the age of 81 years.

Dad was born in Wakaw, Saskatchewan on July 25, 1930 to his parents Jean-Marie and Augustine (nee Moulin) Toullelan. He grew up in the Hoey District and took his schooling in the town of Hoey. In 1965 Dad married Mom (Therese Nidosky). They moved to Domremy, Saskatchewan, where together they raised their three daughters; Colleen, Audrey and Carla.

Dad worked in a variety of fields including farming, grain elevators and as a ferry operator. Following his retirement, Dad continued living in Domremy until 2007 when he moved to Prince Albert to be closer to his daughters. With declining health, Dad moved to Foyer de Bellevue Care Home in February, 2011; a place he was well-cared for and thoroughly enjoyed. Dad had a life-long love for horses, enjoyed playing cards, playing on his computer and visiting with family and friends. His faith was also a very important aspect of his life.

Dad is survived by his daughters Audrey (Claude) Rousson, Carla (Duane) Bergquist and his precious grandson Colby Rousson. Dad was predeceased by his loving wife Therese in 1988; his beloved oldest daughter Colleen in May 2010; his parents Jean-Marie and Augustine (nee Moulin) Toullelan; his brother George; his nephew Bob.

Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10:00 a.m., Friday, November 18 from Ste. Jeanne d’Arc Roman Catholic Church in Domremy by Father Greg Elder. It is the family’s request that donations be made to the Saskatchewan Lung Association. Interment will take place at Domremy Cemetery.
