It is with heavy hearts that the family of Ben Pelletier announce his passing. Ben was taken peacefully into the Lord’s hands on June 27, 2019 at Mont St. Joseph. He is survived by his loving wife of 52 years Violet (nee Siwak) and their three daughters;  Rhonda (Dave) Hudak— his grandson Nicholas (Litney) and great-grandchildren Rheton and Prinley; his granddaughter Brittany; daughter Corinne; daughter Karla (Rod) Orieux — his grandchildren Colton, Alyx, Carter, and Riley; his siblings Gerry (Shirley) Pelletier, Armande (Ole) Kilden, Freddie (Sheila) Pelletier, Sally (Brian) Bohmann as well as numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

Ben was predeceased by his parents Marie and Ludger Pelletier, his sister Lou Andrews and brother Harvey (Donna) Pelletier.

Ben was born on June 10, 1938 in Duck Lake, Saskatchewan. At the age of 20 he joined the Prince Albert Fire Department where he was employed for 35 years, the last several years as Captain. Ben was very proud to be a fireman. In addition, he took on a side job of roofing, which gave him the opportunity to provide a wonderful life for his family.

Ben was very much a people person, loved getting together with family, friends and his coffee buddies. He always made time to stop and chat, no matter where he was. Ben enjoyed music, travelling, all sports and playing a fierce game of Kaiser.

We are all so thankful for the beautiful life he provided for us as a family. We will always love him and miss him very much. Until we meet again..
