Lorraine Duguay, of Grand-Barachois, passed away peacefully on January 24, 2026. She was the beloved daughter of the late Henri Richard and the late Anna (Cormier) Richard.
Prior to her retirement, Lorraine was a dedicated and hardworking employee. She spent many years working as Dr Renault’s secretary; as well as at the glass factory in Scoudouc. Her strong work ethic and reliability were well known and deeply respected. In her leisure time, Lorraine found great joy in gardening during the summer months and took pride in bottling and preserving the foods she carefully prepared. She also had a great love for knitting and quilting and lovingly created many beautiful articles for her family and friends, gifts that will be treasured as lasting reminders of her care and generosity.
Lorraine will be deeply missed by her devoted husband of 70 years, Roger Duguay; her loving daughters: Roberte Cyr (Bob) of Moncton and Jeannette Duguay of British Columbia; her dear sisters: Jeannine Melanson (Edmour) of Dieppe and Juliette Richard ( late Jean Nima) of Moncton; and her cherished brothers: Donald (Joanne) of Haute-Aboujagane, Roger (Jeannette) of Shediac, Guy (Jeanne) of Haute-Aboujagane, Laurie (Ginette) of Cap-Pelé, and Joseph "Joe" (Patsy) of Barachois; and a sister in-law Monique Richard-Léger (Philippe) de Shediac.
She is also lovingly remembered by her grandchildren: Gary Boudreau (Isabelle) and Gilles Boudreau (Aline); her precious great-grandchildren: Anabelle, Jacob, Caleb, Gabrielle, and André; her great-great-grandchild, Ellie-Rose; as well as by many nieces and nephews.
Besides her parents, Lorraine was predeceased by her infant daughter, Donna, and by her sister Roberte and brother Jean.
A private funeral ceremony was already held. Interment will take place in the Haute-Aboujagane Sacré-Coeur Cemetery, in the spring.
In memory of Lorraine, a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada or to a charity of your choice would be appreciated.
