December 13, 1929 - August 19, 2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Joseph Albert Bellerive, known by all his family and friends as Albert.
He left us quietly on his terms and at his time, in the Vernon Jubilee Hospital on August 19th, 2024 at the age of 94 years.
Albert is survived by his partner, Marcelle; four children, Yvette, Noel, Yvonne and Jules; two grandchildren, Matthew and Travis; and two great-grandchildren, Caleb and Beau.
Albert was born on December 13th, 1929 in St. Lina, Alberta. He lived and worked in B.C. most of his adult life, raising his children in Prince George. In the early 1980s Albert moved to the Okanagan and for the past 25 years he resided in Vernon. He is best known and will be remembered by everyone for his great sense of humor and we will all miss the “twinkle in his eyes” as he shared a good joke.
In respecting Albert’s wishes, he was cremated and there will be no service held.
Cremation arrangements were made with BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD. 5605-27th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 8Z5 250-542-1187
