The passing of Beatrice McPhail (Hooper) DeVeau, wife of the late Leo Alfred DeVeau, formerly of Caithness NB occurred peacefully at the Lincourt Manor, St. Stephen NB on December 24, 2020. Born in St. George NB on March 1, 1928, she was a daughter of the late Earl and Mabel (Schofield) Hooper. A loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother and sister, Beatrice is survived by one son: Raymond DeVeau of Bonny River NB; three daughters: Linda Donavan of Pennfield NB, Pauline Dunham (Rick) of St. George NB and Heather Cooke (Jeff) of Bonny River NB; grandchildren: Sonny Babineau, Cindy Babineau, Daphne DeVeau, Tyler Acheson, Amanda Doucette, Jennifer Cooke and Julie Dunham; several great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren; one sister: Annette Dinsmore of St. Stephen NB; one sister-in-law: Jeanie Hooper of Fredericton NB; several nieces, nephews and cousins. In addition to her parents and husband, Beatrice was predeceased by ten brothers and three sisters.

In her earlier years, Beatrice once worked for Connors Brothers, but later found her niche as a homemaker and she loved to devote her life to her family. A true Christian woman, Beatrice was a longtime, active member of the Cornerstone Tabernacle in St. George and could often be found with her Bible in hand reading all of her favourite passages. Her love and devotion to her family will be greatly missed.

The family would like to thank the staff of Lincourt Manor for their care and support over the last couple of years. Also, a big thank you to Johnny and Ada Barry who always went above and beyond to help Beatrice with anything she needed. Your love and support will always be remembered with great gratitude.
