Cécile Duquette (Limoges), 91, a longtime resident of Moncton, passed away peacefully on Monday March 18, 2024 at Villa Providence in Shediac surrounded by her family. Born in Montréal, she was the daughter of the late Antoinette Morache and Hervé Limoges.

Cécile’s family and children meant everything to her. She is remembered fondly by the many people whose lives she touched for her wonderful sense of humour, quick wit and loving personality. Prior to her retirement, Cécile worked in various roles at the Dieppe Walmart. In her spare time, she loved bowling, and was a member of the Dames d'Acadie of Moncton and a volunteer at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont Hospital, mainly in the nursery and the radiology department. Even though she had been away from Montreal for several years, her heart remained there and she loved to return whenever she could.

She is survived by four children: Daniel (Susan) and Lise Culligan (Darrell), both of Moncton, Lucie Duguay (Bruce) of Dieppe, and Jeanne Duquette of Fredericton; six grandchildren: Denis, Eric, Joël, Sophie, Michael, and Jennifer; 11 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandson; one sister, Claire Limoges (Emmanuel Dubois) of Boucherville, QC; as well as her nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her husband, Marcel (1991); and three brothers: Gilles, Roger, and Denis.

The family would like to thank the staff of Villa Providence, Extra-Mural Program and Integrity Home Health Services in Fredericton for their excellent care.

The family will receive condolences at Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre 88 Church Street, Moncton (506-858-1900) on Monday from 6 to 8pm and Tuesday March 26 at 2pm followed by the funeral service at 3pm.
