It is with profound sadness that the family of Irène Robichaud (born Gauvin) share the news of her passing on February 19, 2025, at age 79. She passed away peacefully, surrounded with love, at Albert House, in Moncton, N.B., after a brief illness. Born in Dalhousie, N.B., she was the daughter of the late Amédée and Albertine (Allard) Gauvin.

Irène was a devoted, loving and caring stay-at-home mother. She loved to bake and was the happiest when sharing with friends and family, especially at Christmas time. She also loved to crochet and, in the summer, spent a lot of time tending her small vegetable garden. She found joy in the simple things and was content simply being in the company of those she loved.

Irène is survived by her four sons: Daniel (Jennifer Meister), Marc, André, and Éric (Anne Richard), who will always remember and cherish her generous, patient and tender nature.

Irène is also survived by her two brothers: Raymond (Karen Martel) and Albert (Lise Neveu); her sister-in-law, Colleen (Labillois) Gauvin; as well as by many nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.

Irène was predeceased by her husband of 34 years, Gérald; her two sisters: Alice and Rita; her brother, Edgar; and her brother-in-law, Don Gallant.

The family sends its most heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the dedicated staff of the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre and Albert House, as well as to Dr. Monique Hébert, for the loving, attentive and compassionate care they provided to Irène throughout her illness.

According to her wishes, there will be no visitation and no funeral service. In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory can be made to Hospice SENB - Albert House. Interment will be at Our Lady of Calvary cemetery in Dieppe. Funeral arrangements are in the professional care of Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, Moncton (506-858-1900).
