We are sad to announce the sudden passing of Autumn Michelle DeCoste, age 27, of Haileybury, Ontario, and formerly of Tracadie, Antigonish County on July 11th, 2026.
Born in Antigonish, she was the daughter of Ashley DeCoste of Edmonton and Bradley Boyle of Afton.
Autumn was by definition a true country girl. She was a beautiful woman who didn’t like a lot of fuss and found happiness in the simple moments spent with family and friends, creating memories that will be treasured for generations . Summer was always Autumn’s favorite time of year. Beach days, cruising the back roads, and singing songs around a campfire were some of her favorite pastimes.
Her proudest moments in life will always be welcoming her 3 beautiful daughters into the world. She had so much love for her 3 little ladies and big dreams for their future. Her biggest wish was for her girls to always feel loved, to always be brave, and to be true to themselves.
Although she is no longer with us, the love she gave so freely will remain a guiding light in the lives of her daughters and all who knew her. She will be forever loved, deeply missed, and never forgotten.
Besides her parents, Ashley and Bradley, she is survived by her 3 daughters, Hope, Mia and Ridge; her partner, Kaiden Mckinnon; her brother, Alex Boyle (Megan Russell); sister, Audrey Boyle; and niece, Peyton Boyle; her grandparents, Ellsworth and Yvonne (Mattie) DeCoste, Tracadie; aunt, Dahlia (Dan Lagace), Upper Tantallon; uncles, Ellsworth "Pook" ,Afton; Jed, Lower South River; Kyle (Elizabeth Greencorn), Monastery; and Austin, Monastery.
She was predeceased by her uncle, Rayphael; as well her paternal grandparents, Eugene and Jeannie Boyle.
