Couillard, Roger B. age 82, a resident of Taylors Falls, Minnesota, passed away, peacefully, on September 12, 2023, at Regions Hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota. Born in St. Paul, to Elzer and Harriet Couillard, Roger lived a full life and dedicated it to being an amazing father and active and impactful member of his community. He retired early from a successful career in the computer industry that allowed him to spend time on his priorities and loves in life, namely his children (Kevin, Craig, and Cory) and serving the community. Roger always enjoyed involvement in Taylors Falls and Chisago Lakes athletics and, in 2017, was inducted into the Chisago Lakes High School Wall of Fame for his work as a volunteer and sports coach (basketball, baseball, and volleyball). He also worked as a special education teacher for over 20 years at Taylors Falls Elementary School. Roger was a passionate and avid investor. He said his greatest investment was discussing and sharing his knowledge and skills with his boys to continue his legacy. Revered by family and friends as a masterful storyteller, he will be remembered for his long-winded but impactful stories and learnings. He was and continues to be an inspiration to all those around him. Roger played competitive volleyball for decades where he made many life-long friends. He was also a regular at Coffee Talk in Taylors Falls, where he and a group of friends, that also spanned decades, discussed important matters in their lives and that of the community. He truly cherished his friendships, and they helped him through his toughest days towards the end of his life. Roger loved spending time with his children and grandchildren, and relaxing at the cabin where he lived his dream. He is survived by his sons, Craig and Cory (Kim), his grandson Sebastian, and granddaughters, Katrina, Erin, Emme, and Sydney, brother Dwayne (Michele), numerous nephews, nieces, and cousins.

Mary Elizabeth (Palmer) Rivard, long-time resident of Taylors Falls, passed away July 13, 2019, at the Christian Community Home in Osceola, Wisconsin, at the age of 92. Mary was born March 7, 1927 in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, to Earl and Hazel Palmer. She graduated from St. Croix Falls High School in 1945. Ice skating was a passion for her while growing up so she was often at the local ice rink. That is where she met the handsome love of her life from across the river in Taylors Falls, Lloyd Rivard. Their 63-year marriage began on October 24, 1946. Together they raised their family of four children in the house they called home for their entire marriage. They managed a large pig farm for many years, and then together ran Rivard's Sporting Goods in Taylors Falls until 1986. Many locals have sweet memories of their kindness in the store. The Rivard Family co-operated Val Croix Ski Area until 1972, and Mary and Lloyd were active in the operation. The love of skiing was instilled in the entire family. The love of the St. Croix River was another gift passed to her family. Every Sunday during the summer was spent boating on the St. Croix and enjoying family and friends at "The Spot." Mary worked hard to prepare food, snacks and drinks so that her family could have fun and make special memories together. In retirement years, Mary and Lloyd loved camping in their RV and spent hours and hours in their boat fishing. Family reaped the benefits with the wonderful fish they shared. Mary will most be remembered for the absolute love of her family. She was a beloved mother, grandma and wife. She had the distinct knack for making each and every child, grandchild and great-grandchild feel so special and loved. Her selfless love was demonstrated by her wonderful cooking, which she shared abundantly, and by paying attention to the special treats that were each person's favorite. In Lloyd's last years, Mary took loving care of him at home, again giving her pure love, commitment and devotion. After Lloyd passed away in 2010, Mary lived in her home until 2014 when she moved to the Royal Oaks Assisted Living in Osceola and later in 2017 to the Christian Community Home in Osceola. She was well loved by staff for her wit, humor and kindness. Mary was an active member of St. Joseph's Church and the Altar Society. Mary was preceded in death by her husband Lloyd, son Scott, parents Earl and Hazel Palmer, and sister Helen (Arlin) Laier. She is survived by daughter Roxanne (James) McGurk, sons Todd (Mary Ann), Kevin (Jodi), daughter-in-law Terry, sister Phyllis (Myles) Rivard, 10 Grandchildren (Kortney Rivard, Kristi Winkels, Zachary Rivard, Jordan Golomb, Brandon Rivard, Megan Cobia, Molly Moen, Thomas McGurk, Tanner Rivard and Nic Schmidt) and 18 Great-Grandchildren. Mary will be most remembered for her love, selflessness, sense of humor and wit, devotion, courage and faith, and will be so missed by her family and loved ones.
