PLOURDE

Roy Charles

Age 66, of Somerset, WI, passed peacefully on Thursday, October 17, 2019, at Christian Community Home in Hudson, WI, with the love of his family surrounding him.  Born September 24, 1953, at St. Joseph’s Hospital in St. Paul, MN, Roy was the son of Francis and Jennie (Longar) Plourde and later step-mother Marceline (Gerlach) Plourde.  Roy was a lifetime resident of Somerset, WI, where he graduated high school in 1971.  He attended UWRF, operated the family farm and a tubing business, and ultimately retired after 27 years at Andersen Corp.  Roy was a fun-loving, kind, and caring man who enjoyed gardening, fishing, riding his motorcycle, working with his hands, and being in the outdoors.  Those who knew Roy also know he never turned down a bowl of ice cream and loved spending time with family and friends.  His greatest joy was spending time with his grandchildren.   He is survived by his wife of 42 years, Myrna (Peterson); daughter, Jessica of Somerset, WI; sons Neil of Somerset, WI and Brian (Deshnee) of Hudson, WI; grandchildren, Sophia (14), Ava (11), Liam (9), & Asher (1); brothers, Frank (Ann) of White Bear Lake, MN; Marc (Wanda) of Hudson, WI; and sister, Renee (Darryle) Powers of New Richmond, WI; along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives and dear friends.  He is preceded in death by his parents and an infant sister. We would like to thank Christian Community Homes for providing great care for Roy these past months.  Mass of Christian Burial Friday, October 25, 2019, 11:00 A.M. at ST.
