Edna Brien, 93, of Shemogue passed away at the Dr.
Georges-L.-Dumont UHC on Monday August 8, 2022. Born in
Cap-Pelé, she was the daughter of the late Robert and
Hélèna (Richard) Brun.
During her life, Edna enjoyed knitting wool socks for
everyone, quilting and sewing blankets on her sewing machine,
preparing “poutine rapée”, reading, and admiring
her flower garden at the entrance of her home. Family and friends were
always welcome. She was a proud member of the Catholic Church and a
believer in the power of prayer.
She is survived by her four sons: Éverard of
Shemogue, Camille (Alice) of Moncton, Hazen (Rachel) of Irishtown and
Paul of Moncton; two sisters: Élise Brine and Laura Jacob,
as well as many nieces, and nephews.
She was predeceased by her husband, Lester Brien (1989); five
sisters: Anita Brine, Anna Surette, Zella Melanson, Minnie Jacob, and
infant sister, Marie; two brothers: Donat and Clovis.
There was no visitation, and a private chapel service will be
held at a later date. Interment will be in the
Saint-Timothée cemetery, Shemogue.
In memory of Edna, a contribution to the Saint-Vincent of
Paul Society or Mutual Aid Committee of Cap-Pelé/Shemogue
or to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated.
Cremation and funeral arrangements
