SAINT-LOUIS, NB – It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Catherine Daigle (nee Hébert) after a brief battle with cancer on Tuesday, July 7th, 2026, at the Dr Georges – L. Dumont Hospital in Moncton, New Brunswick, at the age of 70. Born in Claire Fontaine, New Brunswick, on May 8th, 1956, she was the beloved daughter to the late Gustave Hébert and Thérèse Hébert.

 

Catherine had deep rooted love for her family and friends that was unwavering, and was endlessly devoted to them. She was known for her generosity, compassion and warm, friendly smile. If Catherine wasn’t found making life long memories with her friends and family, she could be found on the open roads of New Brunswick with her husband Jacques, enjoying the small things life has to offer together.

 

Catherine is survived by her loving husband of 50 years, Jacques Daigle; their cherished daughter, Charline Daigle (Jean-Pierre) of South Branch, New Brunswick; and the greatest joys of her life which were her two granddaughters, Anabelle and Danie, whom she loved beyond measure and cherished with all her heart. She also welcomed her four step-grandchildren, Isabelle, Stephanie, Janick, and Genevieve, into her life with open arms, loving them as family. Catherine was also survived by her sisters Bernadette Hébert (Louis-Émile), Anne-Marie Robichaud, Magella Cormier, and one brother George Hébert (Denise), all of St Louis.

 

Besides her parents, Catherine was predeceased by her two beloved sons, Charles and Joseph Daigle; sister, Laurentine Hébert, Thérèse Cormier, Amanda Daigle; and one brother Jean Hébert.

 

Arrangements are entrusted to the care of Thompson Funeral Home, 33 Acadie Street, Richibucto, New Brunswick (506) 523 – 4252, where a Visitation will take place on Monday, July 13th, 2026, from 7 PM to 9 PM.
