It is with much sadness that the Setlakwe family must announce the death of Mrs. Yvette Bourque Setlakwe, which occurred on July 5, 2024, at the St-Alexandre housing center in Thetford Mines. Mrs. Yvette Setlakwe was born on January 29, 1928, in Sherbrooke. She joined her husband and lifelong partner, the Honorable Raymond C. Setlakwe; and her parents, the late John Samuel Bourque and the late Dorimène Brien.

She leaves each of them the values of respecting others and the importance of family unity. Everyone will remember her sense of humour. She loved and was loved in return. She was the sister of the late Marcel Bourque (the late Yolande Émond), the late Dr. Jacques Bourque (the late Gisèle Émond), and the late Pierre Bourque (Yollande Chevalier).
