It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our Beloved Mother Joan Mabel Cadieux at the SJRH on May 17, 2025. Born on April 10, 1939 in St Stephen N.B., she was the only daughter of Hebert Moore Stevens and Mary Louise Stevens (Getchell).

Mom reached out to Dad’s hand extended from heaven to help her transition to God’s Kingdom, knowing that she was loved and cherished by all her children, grand-children and great grand children. Growing up Joan often tagged along with her brothers James (Jimmy) and Robert (Bobby) having fun together while they watched out for their little sister.

Mom gave dad four beautiful loving girls. Joanne, Michelle, Danielle and Nicole. Joan was a stay at home mom, loving and raising her girls. As the girls got older, Joan went to work for Zellers and was there for many years, where she met and worked with many friends

After her retirement, Joan helped out her girl preparing meals for the Hot Lunch Programs for Elementary Schools in the Saint John area.
