Claude J. Savoie

It is with great sadness the family announces the passing of Claude Joseph Savoie which occurred at the Saint John Regional Hospital on Tuesday, June 30th, 2020.  Born 1949, in Tracadie, NB, he was the son of the late Lionel and Lina Savoie.  Claude worked for the Saint John Foundry as an Operator and Maintenance Worker before he became too ill to work.  In his earlier years, he loved hunting, fishing, bowling and dancing.  In his spare time, he enjoyed fixing things.  Claude especially loved spending time with his friends at Tim Horton’s drinking coffee.

Claude is survived by his daughters Marie-Josée Gionet (Shawn) of Saint John, Nancy Savoie (Sean Currie) of Saint John, Angele Savoie (the late Jeff) of Saint John and their mother Yvette Le Bouthillier; grandchildren Curtis (Ann-Marie), Megan, Nathaniel, Delaney, Deanna, Chloe, Cameron, Mitchell and Dakota; great grandchildren Darius, Jeremiah and Jurney; brothers Normand Savoie (Dale Thibodeau), Donald Savoie (Carmillia Doiron); sisters Emma Savoie (Remi), Mathilda Mallet (the late Raymond), Aurilda Smith (Donald), Suzanne Richard (George), Claudia LeClair (Gilles); as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.  Besides his parents, Claude was predeceased by his infant brother Normand, brother Alphé and infant sister Suzanne.

Arrangements are under the direction of Fundy Funeral Home, 230 Westmorland Road (646-2424) with visitation being held on Monday, July 6th from 2 to 8 p.m.  As a result of COVID restrictions, a private Funeral Service will take place from the Fundy Funeral Home chapel on Tuesday, July 7th for invited guests.  Interment will be held in Neguac at a later date.  Donations in memory of Claude may be made to The Lung Association or to the charity of the donor’s choice.
