RICHIBOUCTOU-VILLAGE, NB – It is with deep sadness that the family of Jacinte Richard announces her peaceful passing on June 12, 2026, at the Saint John Regional Hospital following a brief illness. Jacinte, daughter of the late Charles and Hermine Richard, was 72 years old and had lived all her life in Richibouctou-Village, where she was born.

She will be dearly missed by her partner, Georg Prokott; her son, Jean-Luc LeBlanc (Monette) of Saint-Louis; her daughter, Jessika LeBlanc (Jean-Michel) of Village-des-Poiriers; and her grandchildren, Sébastien and Mariève. She also leaves to mourn Jean-Paul LeBlanc, the father of her children; her brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Eugen Prokott (Lotti), Monique Robichaud, Marie-Jeanne Babin (Brian), Guy LeBlanc (Lucille), Maria LeBlanc, and Albert Richard (Jeannette); as well as her nieces and nephews, extended family, and many friends.

Jacinte found joy in tranquility. She loved gardening, photography, especially of animals and birds, her family history, as well as conversations with family and friends. She adored cats and appreciated savoring her coffee in the presence of Mack and Kitty. Although reserved, Jacinte had a good sense of humour and enjoyed a good laugh.

Besides her parents, Jacinte was predeceased by her brother, Rosaire Richard, and her sister-in-law, Rose-Marie.

The family is deeply grateful for the good cardiac care and supportive guidance received at the Saint John Regional Hospital, CHU-Dumont, and Stella-Maris-de-Kent Hospital.

As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or to the foundation of any of the hospitals mentioned above.

A funeral Mass will be celebrated on Friday, June 19, 2026, at 2:00 PM at the St. Antoine-de-Padoue Roman Catholic Church in Richibouctou-Village.

Arrangements are in the professional care of Thompson’s Funeral Home in Richibucto, NB (506-523-4252).
