1952 ~ 2026
Dorine Melanson, 73, of Fox Creek, Dieppe, passed away peacefully on May 17, following a brief illness, at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre.
Dorine leaves behind her loving and devoted husband, Ron Melanson; her son, David Lutes; her stepchildren, Dale Melanson and Marcia Melanson; and her cherished grandchildren, Gabriel, Nikolas, Alysa, and Hunter; her Brother Terry (late Janice) LeBlanc and her best friend/sister Phyllis LeBlanc, nieces that she loved and cherished so much.
She was predeceased by her brother Romeo LeBlanc.
Dorine was truly one of a kind — a gentle, loving soul whose kindness touched everyone fortunate enough to know her. She had a rare gift for making people feel welcomed and valued, often becoming someone’s dear friend moments after meeting them. Her warmth, compassion, and generous spirit made the world a brighter and better place everywhere she went.
A loving wife, mother, stepmother, and grandmother, Dorine devoted herself to her family and home with endless care and creativity. She had an extraordinary artistic talent and an incredible ability to create beauty in everything around her. Whether decorating her beautiful home, crafting something unique by hand, or fixing almost anything she set her mind to, Dorine’s creativity and resourcefulness were admired by all who knew her.
Dorine dedicated 37 years of service to Canada Post, where she was respected for her hard work and friendly nature.
She also found great joy in ballroom dancing with her beloved husband Ron and treasured the friendships she made within the pickleball community. Dorine loved being surrounded by people, laughter, and the simple happiness of everyday life.
Her absence leaves an immeasurable void in the hearts of her family and friends, but her love, kindness, and beautiful spirit will remain with them forever.
She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered always.
Visitation will be held at the Passage-Chartersville Funeral Cooperative, 363 Amirault Street, Dieppe, NB., on Monday, May 25th, from 1 to 4 pm, followed by the funeral service in the chapel at 4 pm.
