Yvonne Chase, 86, of Moncton, passed away peacefully at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont UHC on December 28, 2025, after a hard-fought battle with kidney disease.

Born in Saint John in 1939, and raised a staunch Catholic, she would often joke that the War started over her.  She built a lifetime of memories in service to others and had a genuine love of life.  She shared this through the many organizations she volunteered for including the Ray of Hope Soup Kitchen, Dieppe Lion’s Club, St. Vincent de Paul, and 25 years teaching Catechism at St Augustine’s Parish.

She was born the third eldest of 12 children and is predeceased by her parents, Edward (Ned) and Mary Chase; her sisters: Virginia (Art) Gautreau, Irene (Harold) Briggs, Betty (Raymond) Gallant, Marie (Fred) Collette, and Rita Roy; her brothers: Alex, Roger (Betty), Tom (Joanne), and Harry (Josephine).  She is survived by her brothers: Charlie (Shirley) and John (late Theresa).

Nothing made her prouder and smile more than the love she had for her family, her son William (Stacey), and grandchildren: Dylan (Brianna) and Bailey.  In some of her final words, she proudly declared her love for her family.  Her contribution to making the world a better place will be hard to replace, and she will be sadly missed.  Rest in Peace.

The family will receive condolences at Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, 88 Church Street, Moncton (506-858-1900) on Friday from 2 to 4 pm and 7 to 9 pm and Saturday from 10:30 am until time of departure (11h15). The funeral mass will be celebrated at St. Augustine’s Roman Catholic Church, 340 Dominion Street, Moncton, on Saturday January 3 at 11:30 am. Interment will be at Our Lady of Calvary cemetery in Dieppe. In memory of Yvonne, a contribution to the Kidney Foundation would be appreciated.
