Florence Lillian Richard

The passing of Florence Lillian (Thompson) Richard, wife of the late Moise G. Richard of Blacks Harbour NB occurred at the Charlotte County Hospital, St. Stephen NB on November 20, 2024. Born in Blacks Harbour NB on April 14, 1939, she was daughter of the late H. Levi and Florence (Bryant) Thompson.

A loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister, Florence is survived by two sons: Timmy Richard (Lori) of St. Stephen NB and David Richard (Mary Lou) of Blacks Harbour NB; two daughters: Marlene (Peter) Moffatt  and Darlene McVicar (Wade Johnson) both of Blacks Harbour NB; several grandchildren; several great-grandchildren; brothers: James Thompson and Arnold Thompson both of Blacks Harbour NB and Henry Thompson of Ontario; sisters: Ida Deveau, Gladys Scott and Marion (Leo) Richard all of Blacks Harbour NB; many nieces, nephews and cousins.

In addition to her parents and husband, Florence was predeceased by grandchildren: Jonathan Munn, Tara Wilkinson and Tasha Wilkinson; and by brothers: Hugh Thompson and Harry Thompson.

Prior to retirement, Florence worked for many years at Connors Brothers in Blacks Harbour. A quiet soul, Florence enjoyed sitting on the porch swing and being surrounded by her family, especially her grandchildren. She was a gardener with a "green thumb" and there wasn’t a seed Florence could not grow. She will be sadly missed by her family and friends.

Arrangements in the care of the St. George Funeral Home (755-3533) 26 Portage Street, St. George NB. In keeping with Florence’s wishes there will be no visiting. A private family service will be held. In Florence’s memory, donations to a charity of the donor’s choice would be appreciated by the family.
