It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of Donald
Thibodeau on Thursday, May 26, 2022, at Maison Albert-Hospice SENB.
Born in Grand-Barachois, he was the son of the late
Napoléon Thibodeau and the late Phélonise
Thibodeau (née LeBlanc).
He is survived by his wife Catherine, his three children:
Gilles from Moncton, Bert (Michelle) from Newmarket, ON and Sonia from
Riverview; his five grandchildren: Renée, Chantal, Oliver,
Josiane, and Zachary; one sister, Claudette LeBlanc of Shediac River
and two brothers: Valerie of Riverview and Albert of
Grand-Barachois.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his brothers:
Claude, Hubert, and Valmond (who died in childhood) and his sisters:
Donalda and Huberte.
A career teacher, Donald spent most of his 35 years teaching
at École Blanche-Bourgeois in Cocagne. Known affectionately
by his students as “Mister T”, he taught math and science to
a generation of young people in Cocagne.
Donald was very fond of making people around him laugh,
especially his grandchildren. A man with a big heart, he was always
ready to serve and help others.
According to the wishes of the family, there will be no
visitation. A private service will be celebrated.
In memory of Donald, a contribution to the Maison Albert
Hospice SENB would be appreciated.
Funeral arrangements
are in the professional care of Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre,
Shediac (532-3297).
