It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Lorraine Thériault, 87, of Moncton, at The Moncton Hospital on March 22, 2025 surrounded by her family. A mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, she was born in Baie-Sainte-Anne and was the daughter of Fred and Elizabeth (Daigle) Manuel.

She was known to be a feisty strong-willed woman with a heart of gold. She loved her grandchildren and will be dearly missed.

She is survived by three daughters: Jacqueline Manuel (Jean-Guy Martin) of Black River, Joanne Filiatrault (Mike) of Moncton and Jocelyne Thériault of Moncton; her good friend, Rosimond Caissie of Moncton; two sisters: Carmella Manuel (Richard) of Montréal, QC, and Corinne Cook (Howard) of Moncton; three brothers: Gérard (Gabrielle) of Baie-Sainte-Anne, Antoine of Montréal, QC, and Patrice (Diane) of Gaspé, QC; four grandchildren: Renelle (Daniel Frost), Chanelle (Andrew Moschuk), Zoë and Owen; as well as several nieces and nephews.

Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, Gérard (2003); two sisters: Arilda and infant Eliza; five brothers: Joseph, Edgar, Albert, Edmond and Bertin.

In accordance with Lorraine’s wishes, there will be no visitation and no funeral service. Interment will be at Our Lady of Calvary cemetery in Dieppe. In memory of Lorraine, a contribution to the Friends of The Moncton Hospital Foundation (Cardiology) would be appreciated. Funeral arrangements are in the professional care of Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, Moncton (506-858-1900).

Safely Home

I am home in heaven, dear ones.

Oh, so happy and bright!

There is perfect joy and beauty

In this everlasting light.

All the pain and grief is over,

Every restless tossing passed;

I am now at peace forever,

Safely home in heaven at last.

There is work still waiting for you,

So you must not idly stand,

Do it now, while life remaineth,

You shall rest in God's own land.

When that work is all completed,

He will gently call you home;

Oh, the rapture of that meeting,

Oh, the joy to see you come!
