Cecile Marie Messier
December 28, 1926 – June 25, 2023
The death of Cecile Marie (nee Bussiere) Messier of Chateau Providence, St. Brieux, SK, occurred at her residence on Sunday, June 25, 2023. She was 96 years of age. Cecile was born near St. Front, SK, on December 28th, 1926, to Morris and Yvonne (née Moyen) Bussiere. She grew up on the farm with her brothers and sister. When more help was needed on the farm, Oscar Messier was hired and the rest, as they say, is history. Cecile and Oscar fell in love and were married June 22nd, 1949. While Cecil and Oscar lived and worked together on the farm, Oscar also worked as a carpenter until he passed away from cancer in 1989. Cecile stayed active and social throughout the years. She loved shopping and visits to the chiropractor as well as baking. Cecile loved serving coffee and baked goods to her guests, and she never let anyone leave her home without some of her home baked hospitality. In the early 2000’s Cecile moved to Churchview Lodge in Naicam, SK, where she lived for 15 years. Then in 2015 she moved to Chateau Providence in St. Brieux, SK where she stayed for the rest of her years. Cecile will be lovingly remembered by her siblings: Robert (Mary) Bussiere, Lionel (Mary) Bussiere, Alice (Joe†) Baril, and Lucien Bussiere; sister-in-law, Margaret Bussiere; and by numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband of 40 years, Oscar Messier; parents Morris and Yvonne; and nephew Raymond Baril. The Funeral Mass was offered at St. Front Roman Catholic Church, St. Front, on Saturday, July 1, 2023, at 2:00 p.m., celebrated by Fr. Charles Nweze. Others taking part were: Landen Baril, crossbearer; Lori Baril and Marcel Baril, scripture readers; Lori Baril, intentions; Shannon Skinner and Ursula Bussiere, giftbearers; Juliette Baril and Jennifer Flasko, memorial table attendants; and Alice Baril, urnbearer.
