Maryse was born in Edmundston, NB to Robert and Rachel St-Onge on May 5th, 1978. Maryse married the love of her life, Bradley Rodgers on May 30, 1998 in Edmundston, NB. She completed her Diploma in Health Sciences at the University of Moncton and two years later graduated as a Respiratory Therapist from NBCC. Maryse spent over 20 years working as a Respiratory Therapist for the IWK and LifeFlight. Maryse, though, was most proud of her role as Mom to her sweet twin girls, Gabrielle and Megan. Maryse touched countless lives through her work at the IWK as an RT with the LifeFlight team. Those who loved her knew her love for shopping, travel, Disney, Christmas and Céline Dion. The only thing she loved more was her adoring husband, her twins, her Maman et Papa and all her family and friends. Maryse’s legacy will live on through Gab and Meg, bright lights of kindness and optimism. Let us learn from Maryse to be good to each other, have hope for the future, and live life to the fullest. Maryse is survived by her loving husband Bradley and daughters Gabrielle and Megan, Parents Robert and Rachel, sister Sonia, brother Paul (Manon): Mother-in-law Celine Chamberland (Pierre Levesque): sisters-in-law, Amanda Rodgers, Crystal Michaud (Eric) and Cindy Levesque; Brother-in-law Robert Levesque (Tracy) and many nieces and nephews who loved their aunt. She was a beloved friend to many and was adored by her work family at the IWK. The family of Maryse wishes to extend our sincere thanks to the Cancer Care team as well as Medical (5A) and Palliative(7A) care team.
