Obituary of Henri Trudel
TRUDEL, Henri
1929 - 2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Henri Trudel on the morning of July 21, 2024, at Welland Hospital, at the age of 94. Henri was a devoted husband for 66 years to his beloved wife, Carmen Trudel (née de LaChevrotiere). He was a cherished father to Andre (Cindy), Robert (Joanne), and Pierre (Kristi), and a treasured grandfather to Jim.
Henri was born to the late Eva Rochon and Armand Trudel of Ste-Anne-de-la-Pérade, QC. He was predeceased by his eleven siblings and their spouses. Henri will be deeply missed by his brothers and sisters-in-law in Quebec, as well as by numerous nieces and nephews.
The family extends heartfelt thanks to the PSWs and hospital staff for their exceptional care and compassion.
Henri dedicated 41 years to Page Hersey (Stelco) and continued to contribute to his community for over 20 years at the Welland Farmers Market on Saturday mornings. On Sundays, he enjoyed traveling to Prudhomme with his brother Claude to share a booth selling coins, stamps, and watches, forming friendships along the way that mattered more to him than making profits. Henri’s passions included spending time at the cottage, gardening, and enjoying a beer with friends.
Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the WELLAND FUNERAL HOME, CREMATION AND RECEPTION CENTER 827 East Main St., Welland, ON. Following Henri’s wishes, cremation has taken place. A private funeral service will be held at a later date in Quebec. In lieu of flowers, donations made to the Foyer Richelieu would be greatly appreciated by the family.
