Obituary of Patricia "Patsy" Vienneau

Peacefully at the Chatham-Kent Hospice on Sunday June 29, 2025, Patricia “Patsy” Anne Vienneau, age 84.  Born in Chatham in 1941 daughter of the late Clara "Pat" (Wimpress) and George Labombarbe.  Beloved wife of the late John “Bernie” Vienneau (2008). 

Loving mother of Gayle (Doug) Hatton, Doug Vienneau and Sharron (Jim) Hanrahan.  Cherished grandmother of 7 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandson.  Dear sister of Ric (Sue) Labombarbe.  She will also be sadly missed by many nieces and nephews. 

Predeceased by her grandsons Calvin Vienneau and Thomas Hatton, her sister Judy Rush and brother Bill Harper. 

Our mom, Patsy was the best mother and friend anyone could ever have!  She served in the Royal Canadian Air Force until her first child was born and then stayed at home to raise her family.  Patsy devoted many years to the Ladies Auxiliary to the Royal Canadian Legion holding many positions in her own Auxiliary and was the Zone A3 Ladies Auxiliary Commander for over 20 years.  There are not enough words to express our thanks for the time she has given to our Auxiliary our Branch and our Veterans.  Those who knew her will remember her owl collection at least 300 or more!  Everywhere she would go she could spot one sitting on a shelf or hanging on a wall somewhere.  The nights of yelling "Bingo" will never be forgotten.  Hopefully some of her lucky numbers will be passed on to all of us in her memory.  We will all miss mom very much and hope if you think of her it will make you smile to remember her. 

Friends and relatives may visit at the Hinnegan Peseski Funeral Home, 156 William St. S. Chatham from 6-8 PM on Wednesday July 2, 2025.  A Royal Canadian Legion Ladies Auxiliary service will be held at 6 PM.  A Funeral Service will be conducted in the funeral home on Thursday July 3, 2025 at 11 AM.

Cremation will follow and burial will take place at a later date. 

Donations to Chatham-Kent Hospice or Cancer Society would be appreciated.
