M. Régina Rioux

1925-2021

M. Régina Rioux

It is with great sadness that we would like to announce the passing of our mother Regina (Godbout) Rioux, formerly of Grand Falls, NB, on the eve of her 96th birthday Tuesday, July 13th, 2021 at Frederick Hall, Shannex, Fredericton, NB.  Born in St. Michel, Victoria County, NB on July 14th, 1925, she was the daughter of the late Jean "John" and Elizabeth (Coulombe) Godbout and loving wife of the late Elie C. "Red" Rioux.

Regina was a caring and devoted mother and wife, and took great pride in making sure that her husband and children were well cared for and loved.  She was a marvellous cook and baker, ran an immaculate home and still found time to provide childcare for many families in Fredericton over a number of years.  In addition to this, she had a love for design, decorating and fashion, and was always impeccably dressed.  Regina was down to earth, had a great sense of humour and loved to laugh.

Regina will be sadly missed by her loving children, Claude (Andrea) of Dartmouth, NS, Michelle Desjardins (Gilles) of Grand Falls, NB, Monique Smith of Fredericton, NB and Jean (Desmond) of Fredericton, NB; daughter-in-law, Ann Marie; 10 grandchildren; 5 great grandchildren, 5 siblings as well as many nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her parents, husband Elie and sons Paul and Marcel, and 9 of her siblings.

The family would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the staff of both Brunswick Hall and Frederick Hall at Shannex Parkland in Fredericton who provided constant, kind and loving care to our mother over the past 10 years. 

There will be no visitation by request.  A funeral service will be held at O’Regan’s Funeral Home in Grand Falls on July 28, 2021 at 11 am with Father Paul Paradis officiating.
