At her residence, on Saturday, May 30, 2026, at the age of 71, Claudine Fournier passed away peacefully surrounded by her family. Born in Rogersville, she was the daughter of the late Damien Richard and the late Irène (Caissie) Richard.
Before her retirement, Claudine was a dedicated nurse for many years. She devoted her life to caring for others with compassion, kindness, and boundless generosity. A deeply selfless woman, she gave of herself freely and welcomed everyone without judgment, offering a listening ear and an open heart.
Her love for her family was at the center of everything she did, and she treasured every moment spent with those she loved.
Blessed with a contagious zest for life and a radiant spirit, she knew how to appreciate both the simple and extraordinary joys of life. Passionate about travel, she loved discovering new places, creating cherished memories, and marveling at the beauty of the world. A lover of nature, she found peace and comfort by the ocean and in the majesty of the mountains. She could often be found at the beach, with a book in hand, fully embracing the beauty that surrounded her.
Her love, gentleness, quiet strength, and caring presence will leave a lasting impression on the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her.
She is survived by her husband, Francis Fournier; her children: Melissa Fournier of Notre-Dame, Mathieu (Jennifer) of Stony Plain (AB), and Christian (the late Meagan) of Moncton; her brothers and sisters: Paul (Blanche), Henri (Cécile), Fidèle (Lucie), Joseph (Debbie), Daniel (Mona-Lisa), Bertrand (Thérèse), Réjean (Sylvie), Ronald (Monelle), Reginald (Charline), Ginette (Joël), Christiane (Norman), and Normand; as well as her five grandchildren: Kaeleb, Olivia, Ava, Mason, and Rowyn.
Besides her parents, Claudine was predeceased by her sisters: Noreen Richard, Roseline Richard, and Lucille in infancy.
In memory of Claudine, donations to the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Foundation (Oncology) would be appreciated.
In accordance with Claudine’s wishes, there will be no visitation or funeral service.
Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the professional care of Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, 396 Main Street, Shediac (506-532-3297).
