Ann Marie Reicker

Our family wishes to announce the passing of Ann Marie (Mantle) Reicker, loving and devoted wife of John Reicker, which occurred on Monday, October 6th, 2025, at the Loch Lomond Villa Nursing Home. Born on October 16, 1935, she was a daughter of the late Walter and Mary (Weatherbee) Mantle.

Ann was a woman of deep faith and a proud member of Kennebecasis Baptist Church, where she found comfort and joy in traditional hymns and fellowship. She worked for 20 years at the Saint John Regional Hospital as a Tele-Communications Operator, where she was well respected for her professionalism and kindness. Ann was also an avid bowler, a talented knitter, and loved to spend time reading, but above all, her greatest joy in life came from her family.

Ann and her beloved husband John shared 69 wonderful years of marriage, filled with love, laughter, and countless memories. Together, they enjoyed travelling and treasured their time spent at their camp in Belleisle, surrounded by family and friends.
