Paul Ducharme

Sadly, we announce the passing of the one and only, Paul Joseph Ducharme. 

Paul, 72, of Carstairs, Alberta passed away gently and peacefully on the evening on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, in the Didsbury Hospital. He was surrounded by his loved ones.

 He was born on Saturday, March 6, 1954, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The son of Olga and Moise Ducharme, Paul was the oldest of ten children (Gerard, Elaine, Audrey, Rene, Roger, Marcel, Raymond, Olive and Lucien) and grew up in the Metis community of St. Laurent. As a young adult he began working in Winnipeg where he met Paulette. They married on March 22, 1975, then moved to Alberta where they raised their family in Spruce Grove. It is also in Alberta where Paul began his lifelong career in the pipeline industry.

 Paul was predeceased by his parents as well as his siblings, Elaine, Gerard and Raymond. He is lovingly remembered by his wife of 51 years, Paulette; his children, Paulanne, Roger (Erin) and Gary; his eight beloved grandchildren, Jack (Sarah), Holden, Brodie, Max, Blu, Joel, Brant and Piper.

 The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude and compassion to the staff at the Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary and the Didsbury Hospital, whose tenderness, professionalism and kindness during Paul’s last days will always be appreciated.

 He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.

 A Celebration of Paul’s Life will be held at The Elks Hall 400 Diamond Ave, Spruce Grove AB on Saturday, August 8, 2026 at 2:00 PM.
