Paul Anthony Daoust of Chelsea, age 83, died Saturday, Oct. 10, 2020 at his home at the Pines in Chelsea.
He was born Sept. 14, 1937 in Plymouth, Michigan, the son of John and Florence (Hebert) Daoust.
Paul was a very hard working man providing for his wife and five children. His skills as an iron worker took him across the country from the crew assembling the Seattle Space Needle, to the bridges spanning the Ohio River in Cincinnati, and finally back to Michigan.
As a proud member of the UAW, he worked for many years in Skilled Trades at the GMC transmission plant in Ypsilanti. Paul and his wife Marilyn’s home was often referred to as “The Chelsea Hotel” where they always welcomed extended family with open arms, especially during the summer.
A Funeral Mass will be held Friday, Oct. 16, 11 a.m. at St. Mary Catholic Church in Chelsea, with the V. Rev. Dr. William J. Canon Turner officiating. Burial will follow at Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Chelsea.
