Jeanne E. Cormier, 97, of Moncton, wife of the late Laurie Cormier, passed away on Friday December 9, 2022 at Hospice SENB Albert House. Born in Scoudouc, she was the daughter of the late Alban Melanson and Lydie (Gaudet) Melanson-Bastarache.

Jeanne is survived by one sister-in-law, Elia Melanson, as well as many nieces and nephews. She was the last surviving member of her immediate family.

She moved to Moncton at the age of 14. Jeanne was a teacher for 31 years and closely followed the success of her many nieces, nephews and students, as if they were her own children. She was a member of the Société des enseignants et enseignantes francophones retraités du Nouveau-Brunswick (SERF) and Golden Age Clubs which she kept close to her heart.
