It is with great sadness that the family of Julie Auffrey, of Boudreau-Ouest, announces her passing at the age of 66, Tuesday, January 14, 2025. After a brief but courageous battle with cancer, she passed away at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont UHC. Born in Pointe-du-Chene, she was the daughter of the late James and Stella (Fougère) Petitpas.

Besides her parents, she was predeceased by two brothers: Maurice and Jackie Petitpas, and a sister, Norma Clements.
