Elphège Thériault
1951 - 2025

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Mr. Elphège Thériault, who passed away at the Villa Saint-Joseph in Tracadie on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, at the age of 74.

Born on July 21, 1951, he was the son of the late Isaac Thériault and the late Rita Guignard.

He leaves in mourning his two sons: Matthew (Anna) and Charles (Annie); his four sisters: Gisèle (Guy), Pierrette (Zoël), Fernande and Bertrande; his five grandchildren: Zoe (Antonio), Lucie, Kamille, Félix and Ellie; his two great-grandchildren: Violet and Ezra (twins), as well as several nephews, nieces, cousins, friends and her large AA family.

He was predeceased by his parents, as well as a brother, Gélas (Carmel).

The family will receive parents and friends starting from 7 PM, on Sunday, November 23, 2025, at the Sr. Blondine Martin living room (in the basement) of the church.

The funeral will be celebrated at the Sainte-Anne de Baie-Sainte-Anne church, on Monday, November 24, 2025, at 11 a.m.

Visiting hours: on Sunday, November 23 from 7pm to 9pm, and on Monday, November 24 from 9:30am until departure for the funeral.

Born in Baie-Sainte-Anne, he always carried his community in his heart, no matter where life took him, without ever losing the roots that formed him. Elphège, was a natural storyteller, charismatic, attentive and always ready to tell a good joke. He loved nature, and he accumulated a life full of memories during his hunting trips with friends and family. Music has always accompanied him, as well as his sense of road adventure; he liked to take the wheel and go out to see the world from near and far. He knew how to appreciate the simplicity of everyday life. He was deeply proud of the peat company Thériault & Haché, founded by his father and uncle. For him, it was a pride and a legacy of hard work accomplished, a sense of community and family tradition. For almost 44 years, Elpheg was an active and dedicated member of Alcoholics Anonymous. He spoke openly about his personal journey and welcomed those who were looking for support, answers or simply an ear to listen to them. Through meetings all over the region and even further, he made many friendships and helped many people to find hope.

The family sincerely thanks all those who supported Elphège throughout his life, especially the many friends that life has placed on his path. His laughter, his generosity, his great love for helping people will remain in our memories forever.

In memory of Mr. Thériault, a donation to the parish of Baie-Sainte-Anne or another charitable organization of the donor’s choice would be appreciated.

The funeral management has been entrusted to the professional care of the Cooperative Funeral "La Colombe" Ltd.

Elphège Thériault
1951 - 2025

C’est avec une immense tristesse que nous vous annonçons le décès de M. Elphège Thériault, survenu à la Villa Saint-Joseph de Tracadie, le mercredi 19 novembre 2025, à l’âge de 74 ans. Né le 21 juillet 1951, il était le fils de feu Isaac Thériault et de feu Rita Guignard.

Il laisse dans le deuil ses deux fils : Matthew (Anna) et Charles (Annie); ses quatre sœurs : Gisèle (Guy), Pierrette (Zoël), Fernande et Bertrande; ses cinq petits-enfants : Zoe (Antonio), Lucie, Kamille, Félix et Ellie; ses deux arrière-petits-enfants : Violet et Ezra (jumeaux), ainsi que plusieurs neveux, nièces, cousins, cousines, amis et sa grande famille des AA.

Il a été précédé dans la tombe par ses parents, ainsi qu’un frère, Gélas (Carmel).

La famille recevra parents et amis à compter de 19h, le dimanche 23 novembre 2025 au salon Sr. Blondine Martin (au sous-sol) de l’église. Les funérailles seront célébrées en l’église Sainte-Anne de Baie-Sainte-Anne, le lundi 24 novembre 2025 à 11h.

Heures de visites : le dimanche 23 novembre de 19h à 21h, le lundi 24 novembre de 9h30 jusqu’au départ pour les funérailles.

Né à Baie-Sainte-Anne, il a toujours porté sa communauté dans son cœur, peu importe où la vie l’a mené, sans jamais perdre les racines qui l’ont formé. Elphège, était un conteur naturel, charismatique, attentionné et toujours prêt à raconter une bonne blague. Il aimait la nature, et il a accumulé une vie pleine de souvenirs pendant ses voyages de chasse avec ses amis et sa famille. La musique l’a toujours accompagné, tout comme le sens de l’aventure routière; il aimait prendre le volant et sortir voir du monde de près et de loin. Il savait apprécier la simplicité de la vie de tous les jours. Il était profondément fier de l’entreprise de tourbe Thériault & Haché, fondé par son père et son oncle. Pour lui, c’était une fierté et un héritage de travail ardu accompli, un sens communautaire et de tradition familiale. Pendant presque 44 ans, Elphège a été un membre actif et dévoué des Alcooliques Anonymes. Il parlait ouvertement de son cheminement personnel et accueillait ceux qui cherchaient du soutien, des réponses ou simplement une oreille pour les écouter. À travers des réunions partout dans la région et plus loin encore, il s’est fait de nombreuses amitiés et il a aidé bien du monde à retrouver l’espoir.

La famille tient à remercier sincèrement tous ceux qui ont appuyé Elphège tout au long de sa vie, surtout les nombreux amis que la vie lui a placé sur son chemin. Son rire, sa générosité, son grand amour pour aider les gens vont rester dans nos mémoires pour toujours.

À la mémoire de M. Thériault, un don à la paroisse de Baie-Sainte-Anne ou à un autre organisme de charité au choix du donateur serait apprécié.

La direction des funérailles a été confiée aux soins professionnels de la Coopérative Funéraire « La Colombe » Ltée.

In loving memory of Ruth Isabel Tozer: December 17, 1934 – November 15, 2025



Ruth Tozer, dearly loved by her family and friends around the world, passed away peacefully at Percy’s Place on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at the age of 90.

We celebrate the remarkable life and faithful testimony of Ruth who will be remembered for a life committed to serving her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and for her love for her family and friends.

Ruth was caring, hospitable, adventurous, and courageous – always trusting the Lord to provide for her every need and protect her through life’s trials. She was a talented author of biblical training material and tools, and a gifted teacher. Ruth had many creative hobbies and especially loved to knit and crochet gifts for others. She found great joy in serving in the ladies, prayer and missions ministries at her local church. Ruth dedicated her life to praying daily for her family, friends, and God’s work around the world. Her deepest desire was for people to trust Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

Ruth’s early years were spent in rural New Zealand with her four sisters. Her parents led the family by Godly example. From an early age, they taught her about the Lord and instilled in her a love for God’s Word. They hosted many missionaries in their home which had a tremendous impact on Ruth’s life. At the age of 12, she dedicated her life to missionary service. Following teacher’s training and Biblical training, she traveled to India to work as a missionary from 1961-1998. In India she served in ministries that cared for women and children. She especially enjoyed her work with a team that created and translated children’s literature and scripture memory tools and provided workshops in Christian education.

Continuing the theme of God’s faithfulness in Ruth’s life, in 1988, Ruth met and married Gene Tozer in India. With Gene, God answered her prayers and provided the gift of a family life that included children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Together Gene and Ruth served the Lord in South India for 10 years, before settling in Canada for retirement. Ruth dearly loved the family, church, and community who welcomed her to the Miramichi area.

Ruth will be missed by her loving husband, Gene Tozer, with whom she shared 37 of marriage; her children – Ferdie (Lori) Tozer, Janet (Paul) Moses, Susan (Blake) Newson, Mike (April) Tozer; her grandchildren – Jessika (Doug) Moore, Ryan Tozer, Anna (David) Guildford, Samuel (Sabrina) Moses, Simon Moses, Rachel (Dan) Wilkie, Mark Newson, and Hudson, Mason, Jackson and Chloe Tozer; great grandchildren – Olivia Guilford, Theo Moore, Jared Moses and Eden Wilkie; and by her many nieces, nephews and friends. Ruth was predeceased by her parents, Richard and Eunice Warner, and her siblings – Elsie, Hilda, Christina, Arnold, and Marjorie.

The family expresses heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Saba, Ruth’s family physician who provided exceptional care over many years. To the medical providers at the Miramichi Regional ER, and to Dr. Losier and the staff at Percy’s Place, thank you for your remarkable care for Ruth and compassion for the family. In addition, we wish to acknowledge Tammy for providing outstanding in-home care for Ruth-every day Tammy went out of her way to love and care for Ruth with Joy and compassion- Thank you.

Visitation for family and friends is on Friday, November 21, 4:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. at River Church, Sillikers, New Brunswick. Ruth’s “Celebration of Life” service is on Saturday, November 22, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at River Church, Sillikers New Brunswick, with a reception to follow for family and friends.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to SIM Canada, River Church Missions Fund – Sillikers, NB, and Percy’s Place Hospice in Miramichi.

Funeral arrangements are under the care of Jardine Funeral Home & Crematorium, 597 Old King George Highway, Miramichi, NB. Telephone: 506-622-3600 or 506-622-7464.
