DORALE “BUD” ANTHOINE GROUETTE, beloved husband of Marjorie Suzanne Grouette (née Marshman), of Lethbridge, AB, passed away after a short stay at Good Samaritans Park Meadows Village, on Tuesday, February 13, 2024 at the age of 76 years.

Besides his loving wife, Suzanne, Bud is survived by his daughter Amanda (Jason) Addy and his fur baby, Coco. He is also survived by his twin sister Doreen Revesz, nephew Richard Revesz, brother Dale (Joan) Wilson, mother-in-law Viola Marshman, and sister-in-law Marilyn Marshman, as well as many nieces, nephews and their families.

He was predeceased by his parents Lydia and Joseph Grouette, aunt and uncle Birdie and Clarence Schmitt, sister Rayma Hunt, brother-in-law Richard Revesz and father-in-law Jock Marshman.

Dad was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, alongside his twin sister, Doreen. After the passing of their mother, the twins came to Lethbridge to live with their aunt and uncle. After a short engagement, Dad and Mom got married in September of 1980. Six years later, in February of 1986, their family of two became a family of three. In Dad’s words, “The family is complete.”

Dad was a compassionate, thoughtful and honourable man, who dearly loved his family and Coco. He thoroughly enjoyed camping at the lake, playing Bingo, 5-Pin Bowling, and playing Crib with family, friends and cherished neighbours.
