Alice Robichaud

SAINT-IGNACE, NB – It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother and grand-mother Alice Robichaud, 90, at La Villa Maria, Saint-Louis-de-Kent on Friday, February 16th, 2018. Born in Saint-Ignace, she was the daughter of the late Placide and Léocadie (Desroches) Gallant. Alice was known as the town seamstress for many years. The memories of her contagious smile, her big heart, her generosity, her tenderness and her unconditional love for her family will forever have a place in our hearts.

Alice will be sadly missed by her two daughters, Marie-Paule Pellerin (Donald) of Bouctouche and Annette Richard (Irois) of Saint-Ignace; four sons, Jean-Guy (Solange) of Saint-Ignace, Maurice (Edith) of Moncton, Daniel of Grande-Digue and André (Janice) of Saint-Ignace; her eight grandchildren, Stéphane, Marc, Denis, Yves, Allain, Mélanie, Christel and Jean-Jacques; and her six great grandchildren, Adèle, Nellie, Janelle, Miguel, Savannah and Jonah-Will.

Alice also leaves to mourn her two sisters, Laurida Johnson (late Adélard) of Dieppe and Germaine Gallant of Montreal, QC; two brothers, Valmond Gallant (Thérèse) of Saint-Ignace and Philias Gallant (Yolande) of Toronto, ON; two sisters-in-law, Rose-Mai Gallant of Saint-Ignace and Ursule Gallant of Saint-Louis; one brother-in-law, Bernard Brideau of Fredericton; as well as many nieces and nephews.

Besides her parents, Alice is predeceased by her husband Paul-Emile Robichaud; one son, Maurice; three sisters, Sister Gemma Gallant, f.m.a., Rose-Anna Brideau and Rose-Eva Richard; four brothers, Yvon, Gérard, Paul-Emile and Laurie.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Monday, February 19th, 2018 at 11:00am, Saint-Ignace-de-Loyola Roman Catholic Church, Saint-Ignace. Donations in Alice’s memory made to the Saint-Ignace-de-Loyola Parish or to the Villa Maria (Activities fund) would be appreciated by the family.
