SAINT-LOUIS-DE-KENT, NB – Irène Gigou, 78, of Saint-Louis-de-Kent, passed away peacefully at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Center on Thursday, October 24, 2024. Born in Petit-Large, NB, she was the daughter of the late Maurice Cormier and the late Bernadette (Daigle) Cormier. Before retiring, she worked as an accountant for independent businesses.

Irène was an exceptionally talented seamstress who crafted beautiful clothing. With her artistic eye, she brought beauty to everything she touched, particularly her Christmas decorations. Her cross-stitch works were worthy of an exhibition. Guests at her table greatly appreciated her cooking skills, which she passed on to her sons and granddaughter.

Irène will forever be remembered by her loving husband of 56 years, Jean-Louis Gigou of St. Louis; her two sons, Jean-Marc Gigou (late Amy) of St. Ignace and Philippe Gigou of St. Louis; and her precious granddaughter, Ashley Gigou (Bernie).

She will also be sadly missed by her sister, Aline Vautour-Siddall of Rexton; her two brothers, Armand Cormier (Lise) of St. Ignace and Vincent Cormier of Edmonton, AB; three sisters-in-law, Lise, Rose-Marie and Lorraine; brother-in-law, Sylvio (Lorraine); as well as by many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins – all from the Daigle, Cormier, Gigou, and Richard families. Her card-playing friends will miss her dearly.

Following Irène’s wishes, there will be no visitation. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, at 3:00 p.m., at the Saint-Louis-des-Français Roman Catholic Church in Saint-Louis-de-Kent.
