It is with broken hearts, we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved Helen "Anne" Dunphy on October 12, 2025, at Pine Grove Nursing Home.

Born on June 6, 1957, in Fredericton, Anne was the daughter of Jack Dunphy and the late Mildred (Myers) Dunphy. She grew up in Fredericton alongside her loving parents and sisters, Jane and Nancy, and shared a special bond with her grandparents and her beloved Aunt Marina.

Anne had a joyful spirit and a deep love for her family. She will be dearly missed by her father Jack, her sisters Jane (David) Rioux and Nancy (Darryl) Esau, and her nieces and nephews: Elizabeth, Peter, and Matthew Rioux, and Lincoln Esau. She was also a great-aunt to Ella.

Anne found great joy in her work placements through Jobs Unlimited, where she easily made friends and spent many happy hours. She enjoyed family gatherings, attending church, listening to music, and spending summers at the cottage. Anne was known for her jokes, her generous nature, and her ever-present peppermints.

Anne lived with mom and dad for 64 years. Nearly four years ago, she moved to Pine Grove Nursing Home, where she adjusted to her new surroundings and was lovingly cared for by a dedicated team. The family extends heartfelt thanks to all the special caregivers and workers who showed Anne kindness and compassion over the years.

Anne was special and we were blessed to have her in our lives. She will be dearly missed.

A graveside service will be held at Mactaquac Baptist Cemetery on October 18 at 2p.m.

For those who wish, memorial donations in Anne’s memory may be made to Jobs Unlimited, Pine Grove Nursing Home, or to a charity of the donor’s choice. Online condolences and sharing of memories may be made at www.bishopsfuneralhome.com
