In addition to her parents and husband, Azilda was predeceased by siblings Irene, Romeo, Patrice, Rene, Anna, Alyre, Alfreda, Romeo,(the first Romeo died as a child), Lucien, and Louis. Like many Acadian teenage girls, Azilda spent two years at the Academie Sainte Famille convent in Tracadie. As a young girl, Azilda sang the mass while her father played the organ at the Eglise St Bernard, in Neguac. In the 1920's she accompanied her mother on a train to visit her uncle in Pincher Creek Alberta, south of Calgary. She often talked about this journey and how exciting it was. Her family moved to Shediac, and not long after, Azilda left home to work in Saint John. She married and raised a family on the Green Road in Rothesay. In 1982 Azilda retired in Shediac, residing at the Cite d'age d'or. In 2010 at age 101, she moved to Shannex Thomas Hall in Fredericton. The family would like to thank the staff at Thomas Hall for the kindness and care given to Azilda.
