Silvia (Lucero) Allain
1947-2023
At Maison Albert House in Moncton, NB, passed away peacefully Silvia (Lucero) Allain, 76, from Dieppe, NB, on Wednesday, September 13th, 2023. Born in Temuco, Chile, she was the eldest daughter of late Pedro León Lucero Bustos and late Clara Silvia Loaíza Veloso.
The enormous courage and tenacity she demonstrated when arriving alone in Canada at 17 years old to study nursing and learn French, she also showed until her last breath, afflicted with the incapacitating disease ALS.
Silvia was an exemplary woman, full of zest for life, enthusiasm, kindness and compassion, an inspiration for her two beloved daughters and everyone who was lucky enough to cross her path. She was a very devoted mother, an affectionate and very loving grandmother, a loyal and caring friend, a radiant and very strong woman. She was always the first one to send birthday wishes, donations and sympathy cards. She was very generous with her time, a devout volunteer throughout her life for many causes, such as the pastoral care of baptisms and home communion for the St-Anselme parish and the Tree of Hope Campaign. She worked for 34 years as a nurse at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont Hospital in Moncton, NB, where she primarily worked as a chief and clinical nurse of the intensive care. She welcomed new challenges at work with pride and fervor, including the planning and opening of a new intensive surgical care unit in 1983 and the initiative of a cardiac telemedicine program in collaboration with Saint John Regional Hospital in NB to name a few. She loved her profession, especially the direct care of patients and their families, whom she treated with utmost respect, compassion and professionalism. She was appreciated and respected by her colleagues who honored her with an award of excellence in 2002. She was proud of her accomplishments carried out with passion in the goal of improving and providing the best quality care for patients.
Her big smile was contagious, and her altruism and resilience were like no other. Silvia loved music, dance and her favorite season of autumn. She also loved traveling, cooking, playing with her two cherished grandsons as well as socializing with her friends, the Allain family and her immediate family, whom she loved deeply and who appreciated her immensely.
She is survived by her two daughters, Lisa Laforge (Joey) of Dieppe and Isabelle Allain-Labelle (JP) of Bouctouche Bay; her beloved grandsons Mateo and Theo; the father of her daughters Jean-Charles Allain of Bouctouche Bay; her brothers Carlos (Carmen) and Pedro (Maria Julia) of Chile; her sisters Carmen (Javier) and Ximena (Sergio) of Chile as well as many nephews and nieces in Canada and Chile.
She will be forever and profoundly loved and missed by her daughters, family and friends. Her love will give us strength to continue to live life fully until we are reunited again.
Visitation will be held from Passage-Chartersville, 363 Amirault Sreet, Dieppe, NB, (506) 857-1901, on Thursday, September 21st, , 2023 from 7 to 9pm.
Funeral mass will be held from St-Anselme RC Church, Dieppe, NB, on Friday, September 22nd, 2023 at 2pm.
In her memory, a donation would be appreciated to Maison Albert House or ALS Society of NB and NS.
The family will be forever grateful to the Extra-Mural team as well as the staff and volunteers at Maison Albert House for their loving, compassionate and respectful care.

Silvia in our hearts for ever.
From Chile: I’m the daughter of María Edith Ortiz, Silvia’s childhood friend, my mother passed away on July 26th, since then I tried my best to stay in touch with Silvia in hope we could continue what she had with my mom, my deepest condolences for all the family, I too know what it’s like to loose such an important part of your life, and to feel that they were taken away far too soon. My father and I want to present our respects and love towards Silvia and her family in this difficult and sad moment. I’m sure that Silvia and my mom now are catching up in heaven, looking down watching over us. Like they always did.
J ai eu l’honneur d’avoir Silvia comme ma premiere infirmiere chef en 1978…elle a rendu ce trajet beaucoup moins stressant avec son sourire, sa compassion et son empathie. Elle fut mon idole et j’étais choyée de la compter parmi mes amies Quelle femme formidable! Repose en paix, chere Silvia!
Mes sincères condoléances à la famille Lucero / Allain. Nous sommes de tout coeur avec toi Lisa.
Silvia querida, hoy me acordé de ti sin tristeza y sin dolor. Me acordé de ti con una sonrisa de todos los momentos que pasamos juntas….Siempre estarás en mi corazón!!!
Ahora tengo un ángel que me cuida desde el cielo, estaba muy triste, pero sé que ahora estás en un mejor lugar con nuestro Señor 🙏

I will always remember Silvia’s infectious smile and happy personality. My best memories are when the “Cruising Cousins” went on a cruise together and we were dancing, and Silvia was having a great time and she said to me “I love to dance!” I think of her dancing in heaven, smiling, full of love and joy again.
Dear Lisa and Isabelle, find comfort in the memories of your mom too!
With my deepest sympathy, cousin Diane xxo

Prima: dejas un hermoso ejemplo de vida para tus hijas y familia, se extrañará tu presencia sobre todo de tus hijas y con quienes tuvieron la suerte de conocerte en todos los aspectos de tu vida, pero también dejaste un gran legado que sin duda siempre estará en los corazones de cada uno de nosotros, en cuanto a mí recordar tus venidas a Temuco, en que siempre te diste tiempo para compartir de tu presencia y cariño, un abrazo al cielo para ti Silvita que sin duda estás descansando en paz
Querida y recordada prima Silvia, mi tristeza inicial por tu partida se convierte al pensar que ya estás reunida y celebras la vida eterna con tus padres y familia, con los queridos tío Pedro y Silvia. Abrazos al cielo para tí, y mis sinceras condolencias para Lisa, Isabelle y familias.
