Jean B. Cudmore, 100, of Riverside Albert, passed away on Friday April 10, 2026 at Forest Dale Nursing Home. Born in Coates Mills, she was the daughter of the late Beverly Harrison and Winnifred Eunice (Murray) Coates.

As a girl, Jean was brought up in Scotch Settlement on the farm with her brothers and sisters. She enjoyed the farm life that she had with her mother and father, and all the members of the community. In recent years, Jean attended Sunny Brae Baptist, and while there, God brought her to a saving faith and knowledge of Jesus, of which many of us are thankful.

In 1955, after a number of years of renting, Jean and her husband bought a home in Gunningsville. Between raising a family and working out at places like U.I.C, Mom was kept very busy during that time. In addition to this, her husband Doug, through the 1960’s, ran two businesses on behalf of British American Oil. These were very busy times for the both of them.

In recent years, life has been difficult for Jean, as she had to contend with a number of medical conditions. In spite of this, she continued to carry on.

She is survived by two children: Jane Elizabeth of Dartmouth, N.S., and Greg (Meta) of Weldon; two grandchildren: Randy Jr. and Crystal; as well as her nieces and nephews. She was the last surviving member of her immediate family.

Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, Douglas Hinson Cudmore (1989); one grandson, Jason Anketell; four sisters: Myrtle, Juanita, Grace and Leona; three brothers: Melvin, Leonard, and Rae.

In accordance with her wishes, there will be no visitation and no funeral service. Interment will be in Scotch Settlement cemetery. In memory of Jean, a contribution to the Sunny Brae Baptist Church (Elmwood Drive) would be appreciated. Funeral arrangements are in the professional care of Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, Moncton (506-858-1900).
