Annie Cormier, age 45, of Moncton, passed away on Friday April 1, 2022 at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont. Born in Moncton, she was the daughter of Gervais and Gisèle (Richard) Cormier of Dieppe.
À notre chère Annie, ton sourire radieux était l’éclat de ta présence parmi nous. Ton enthousiasme à la vie t’a permis d’affranchir cette maladie avec détermination et courage. Nous, ta famille, sommes très joyeux, même durant notre grande tristesse, que tu es finalement libérée de ce corps malade et que maintenant tu voles avec tes ailes d’ange.
After developing a Neuromuscular Degenerative illness in 1990 at age 13, she faced every challenge with great courage and was an inspiration for everyone who came to know her.
The family wishes to express their deepest appreciation to Leona LeBlanc, who was her exceptional caregiver for the past 22 years. We also give thanks to every caregiver who worked with Annie. A special mention to Rema who was a very dedicated caregiver and a friend for Annie. Others to thank are Rachel Massé for being such a special friend to Annie, to Serge LeBlanc, aunt Sarah, uncle Ray and uncle Sylvio for their continued weekly visits. Also a very special thank you to her physician Dr. Nicole St-Pierre and to the Extra Mural Hospital for their continued care.

She was predeceased by her brother, Denis Cormier (2018); her maternal grandparents, Alphée and Alberta (Thibodeau) Richard; her paternal grandparents, Hervé and Julia Cormier.
