Peacefully
surrounded by her loving family at Pine Grove Nursing Home, Delcina
Richard passed away on February 20, 2024. Born in Ste. Therese
Gloucester, NB, she was the daughter of the late Victor and Elizabeth
Comeau.
Left to cherish
her memory are her eight surviving children Sylvia Oram, JoAnn Munn,
Julia and (Deryl) Howe, Ronald Richard, Pam and (Terry) Sullivan,
Armand Richard, Mona and (Bobby) Levesque, Angela and (Duane)
Clowater, 19 Grandchildren, 37 Great Grandchildren, 15 Great-Great
Grandchildren and her brother Gerald and sister
Cecile.
Predeceased by her
loving husband Alfred of 68 years, daughter Norma, son-in laws Kenny,
Ricky and David, and six
siblings.
Delcina has
touched many lives with her passion for always caring about the needs
of others. She was a long-time employee of the Red Cross
Society.
Her strong
devotion to her faith touched many. A Sunday School teacher for
several years, a CWL member for over 40 years, volunteering at church
suppers, and singing in the choir brought so much joy to her
life.
She will always be
remembered as a kind, patient, and loving mother. A fantastic baker,
quilter, healer, teacher, care-giver and so much
more.
Visitation will be
held on Monday, February 26, 2024, at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic
Church, 2130 Route 102, Lincoln, NB, from 10am until noon, followed by
a Funeral Mass with father Callistus Abazie as Celebrant. A reception
will be held at the church following the funeral
mass.
Delcina’s family would like to express
their sincere thanks to all the staff and caregivers of Pine Grove
Nursing Home for their exceptional care and
compassion.
For those who
wish, donations in memory of Delcina may be made to the Alzheimer
Society of New Brunswick or a charity of their choice. Online
