South Tetagouche - It is with great sadness that the family of Yvonne Thériault, of South Tetagouche, announce her passing at the Chaleur Regional Hospital December 15, 2023, surrounded by her immediate family, at the age of 86.

She was predeceased by her siblings Frances (Célestin Gosselin, deceased), Marion (late Gérald Gosselin) and Alan.

The family would like to thank the many friends and extended family members who helped and supported Yvonne and the family during her illness, as well as the hospital staff, especially those in the palliative unit for the good care Yvonne received in her last days.
