It is with great sadness that the family of Joan Boudreau (Born Daigle) announces her passing on Sunday February 23, at the age of 78. Surrounded by the love of her family, she passed away peacefully at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont UHC. Born in Richibucto, New Brunswick, Joan was the daughter of the late Dosithé and Esther (Robichaud) Daigle.
A woman of great heart, a devoted wife and mother, she was deeply committed to her faith and found comfort in praying the rosary. Passionate about cooking, she loved sharing meals with family and friends, especially during Christmas celebrations. She enjoyed crocheting, cross-stitching, camping, dancing, singing, and playing bingo. Her kindness and generosity guided her throughout her career, first as a teacher’s assistant working with children with special needs, then as a dedicated caregiver. She also devoted many years to serving her parish with generosity.
Joan is survived by her beloved husband of 56 years, Ronald, as well as her cherished children, Gisèle (Rosalind Hébert) and Maurice (Krista Cormier). She was a loving grandmother to Taylor and Maya Boudreau, who brought her immense joy.
She is also survived by her sisters: Émilia Richard (late Bernard), Roberta Richard (late Yvon), and Joyce Noël (late Ronald), her brother-in-law Fernand Boudreau, as well as many nieces and nephews.
She is now reunited in peace with her parents, parents-in-law, her sister Lorraine Daigle, and her sister-in-law Claudette LeBlanc (late Richard), who predeceased her.
The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate staff at Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont Hospital for the kind and attentive care provided to Joan throughout her illness.
