Pauline Marie Côté (née BRISSON)

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Pauline Marie Côté (née Brisson), who departed this life on September 12, 2025, at the age of 97 at the Centre D’Accueil Roger Séguin in Clarence Creek, Ontario. Born on August 9, 1928, in Embrun, Ontario, Pauline touched the lives of many with her vibrant spirit and infectious joy.

Pauline is survived by her three cherished children, Denis, Lise, and Jean (Ginette). She was a devoted grandmother to her grandchildren Marie-Ève, Marc, Justine, and Patrick, and a proud great-grandmother to her great-grandchildren Océanne, Malik, Jacob, Luke, Ashton, Olivia, Owen, Kaïa, and Koen. Pauline is survived by her sister Jeanne D’Arc and brothers George and Bernard. She also leaves behind many nieces and nephews who will hold dear memories of her.

Pauline was predeceased by her beloved husband Paul-Émile, as well as her parents, Arthur Brisson and Cécilia Émard. She also mourns the loss of her sisters, Cécile and Noëlla, and her brother Solomon, who all played significant roles in her life.

Known for bringing fun to every gathering, Pauline had a zest for life that was evident in her love for entertaining. Her passions extended to sewing, cooking, and traveling, with a particular fondness for cruising. She was a remarkable craftsman, with skilled hands that rarely rested. Whether crafting custom garments, creating beautiful quilts, or indulging in knitting, tatting, and crocheting, her creations brought comfort and joy to family and friends alike. Pauline's culinary talents were equally celebrated, as her cooking was a constant source of warmth and happiness.

Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to the compassionate staff at the Centre D’Accueil Roger Séguin, whose dedication made a significant difference during this challenging time.

A private family celebration of Pauline's life will be held at a later date to honor her memory, as we reflect on the remarkable life she led and the lasting impact she made on all who were fortunate to know her.
