Maurice Louis Bosse, 94, passed peacefully, surrounded by love, in the comfort of his home on May 1st , 2026. Maurice lived his life with a kind of quiet strength that never wavered. He grew up in, Kamouraska, Quebec on a busy family farm as the fifth of ten children—work was simply a way of life, and he embraced it with determination and grit. Maurice met the love of his life, Wilhemina, in the most fitting of places: his family’s farm. She had been sent by her father to pick up eggs and fresh goods, and from that simple errand, their story began. They met in 1957, and when her family later moved to Mt. Holly, VA, Maurice followed. It didn’t take long for Mt. Holly to become their true home. They married just a few miles down the road on June 8th, 1968, and built a life rooted in love, loyalty, and hard work.
