Hope Anne Hooper, affectionately known as "Hopey," passed away at Pine Grove Nursing Home on August 22, 2024, at the age of 78 in Fredericton, NB.

Born on February 10, 1946, in Black's Harbor, NB, Hope dedicated much of her life to educating young minds as an elementary school teacher from 1966 until her retirement in 2000.

Hope was a loving wife to her husband Kenneth, a nurturing mother to her son Geoffrey, and a cherished daughter and sister.

Hope also leaves behind her grand nephews Keenan, Konner, and Kohen Thompson. She was preceded in death by her father Horace, mother Helen, and sister-in-law Faith Richardson.

Hope was a graduate of Back Bay High and furthered her education at Teacher's College, which paved the way for her long and rewarding teaching career. Outside of her professional life, Hope was deeply involved in her community and her church, Faith Baptist Church in New Maryland, NB, where she was a regular attendee and sang in the choir.

Her hobbies included sewing, walking, and reading, activities that brought her much joy and peace throughout her life.
