Jeannette Richard, 81, of Dieppe, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Friday December 1, 2023 at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont UHC. Born in Scoudouc, she was the daughter of the late Edouard and Rosée (Belliveau) Bourque.

Prior to her retirement, Jeannette worked in accounting for the Government of Canada. Her favourite hobbies were traveling on bus tours, clogging and ceramic painting. A dedicated volunteer, she had spent countless hours volunteering at the Club d’Âge d’Or of Dieppe, the Capitol Theatre and a nursing home in Dieppe. A great cook and hostess with an exceptional joie de vivre, Jeannette was at her best when she was surrounded by her precious family and friends. She will be remembered by her contagious smile.
