Yvette

Brouillard,

Yvette Brouillard, 85, of Enterprise, Alabama, passed away peacefully on Saturday,October 10, 2026.

Born and raised in Cumberland, Rhode Island, Yvette was the second youngest offourteen children. Growing up in a large, busy family helped shape the strengthand resilience she carried throughout her life.

Yvette was a strong, hardworking woman who held many jobs throughout her life, meeting each new challenge with determination. In her late 50s, she earned her commercial driver’s license (CDL) and embarked on her final career as a long-haul truck driver. She drove a 75-foot tractor-trailer thousands of miles, crisscrossing the country many times before retiring.

She also had a special gift for making things grow, often starting with nothing more than a single clipping. Her indoor plants flourished under her care, and her home was always filled with greenery, each plant tended with patience and love.

Above all, Yvette’s greatest love was her family. She loved her three sons dearly, and her love for them remained a constant throughout her life. Her five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren held a special place in her heart, bringing her a lifetime of family connections and memories to cherish. Family was an important part of who she was, and the love she gave to those closest to her will remain a lasting part of her legacy.

She was also a devoted friend who never hesitated to lend a hand, even to a stranger. If someone was in need, she would give her last dollar or the shirt off her back. Her generosity and selflessness were not just things she did; they were simply part of who she was. She showed her love through the ways she cared for others, and that kindness will be remembered by all who knew her.

Yvette is survived by her three sons, five grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and her youngest sibling.

The family held a private service in her memory.
