Pauline Pitre: Elhatton’s Funeral Home
(Bathurst, NB): 1960-2021 (photo) Bathurst, NB - It is with profound,
surreal sadness that I, Christopher Stephen Pitre, announce the sudden
and unexpected passing of my mother, Pauline Pitre, at the age of 61 on
Saturday, January 30th at her home in Bathurst, NB. Born in Bathurst, NB,
mom was the daughter of the late David Pitre and late Evelyn (Pitre),
both of South Tetagouche, NB. Mom is survived by her only child and
biggest heckler, Christopher Stephen Pitre; partner Debra Montyr;
brothers Donald (Macrina) and Brian (Christine); sisters Doris
(Laurent), Rose-Marie (Lloyd) and Linda; as well as many nieces, nephews,
cousins, and extended family; countless friends; and adoring fans. (No,
really.) Affectionately referred to as, “The Queen of Karaoke” by the
community for her popularity as a singer (and as “Miss Mayor” by me for her
seeming inability to walk more than ten feet in public without being recognized
and stopped by someone--to which she’d speak for no less than 15 minutes…EACH),
mom was a very well-known and well-loved musician and pillar of community in the
Northern New Brunswick region for the better part of three decades. Across
that time, she touched the lives of many, having performed as the entertainment
for those with special needs at an annual dance in Beresford, N.B. for many
years running; sang at the Curl For Cancer benefit often; performed for the
yearly Christmas Parade in Bathurst many times; entertained at the Bathurst
Promenade Waterfront every summer; and hosted countless benefits, karaoke
events, singing competitions, band performances, private parties of every
concept, and virtually anything you can think of having to do with music.
Beyond entertainment, my mother also touched many lives as a social advocate,
serving as the President of the Violence Against Women & Children Committee
through Family Services, and working as a crisis intervention facilitator for
emergency cases for abused women. Outside those worlds she so adored,
mom’s favourite pastimes included riding her motorcycle, spending time at the
beach, singlehandedly winning “Best Customer at House of Lee” a record 968 times
in a row, and probably finding the cheapest price for on-sale hamburger (or
anything, really) she could track down in the flyers, saving a cumulative $7.68
across her seven decades. (Listen: We all know it’s true, and
there’s no point denying it now.) Mom was a creature of habit and simple
pleasures, but also one whom enjoyed them unapologetically – and much to the
teasing of her perpetually prodding son, which I cherish as sacred memory and
part of our uniquely special relationship. Mom never minced words.
That’s not to say she didn’t mispronounce them—I’m certain she still thought the
captain of the Enterprise was Captain Prichard, and her referring to Metformin
as McFormin left you wondering if the prescription were to be picked up at the
pharmacy or with a coke and fries—but you never had to guess where you stood,
with her. And usually, you knew you had made her good graces when you were
awarded the oft-used, ever-loved nickname, “Pet.” To say that my mother
was well-known and well-loved strikes inadequacy at the word “understatement”.
And while in a fit of fate’s comedic sensibilities mom’s stature stood that of
only 5’3 to my 6’3 (I often introduced myself as being the result of a
C-section, when together, always causing mom to laugh and quickly apologize on
my behalf) -- it was obvious that despite our heights, mom was the giant
wherever we went. Singing, being an entertainer, and excelling as a doting
servant joyfully consumed the vast majority of mom’s life. She was always
just a phone call away, ready to help others – ready to perform, and ready to
serve, as was her life’s calling. And with this serves a poor substitute
for the summary that is her life, but one felt with the efficacy of a life lived
by her, and lost by us, that words simply cannot convey. Karaoke Queen;
Miss Mayor – Mom: You will be sorely missed but never forgotten, having left
your mark on this community, all our hearts, and—incomparably, undeniably—my
life, in a way that will be felt and influential for decades to come. We
love you. Due to COVID-19, a public celebration of Pauline Pitre’s life
will be announced at a later date. Donations may be made in Pauline
Pitre’s name to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada. Arrangements are
in the care of Elhatton's Funeral Home, Bathurst.
