LEBLANC, ELIZABETH RITA (DOIRON) - (1928-2014) - It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of our Mother, Memere, and Grand-Maman, Elizabeth LeBlanc which occurred on August 08, 2014 at the Moncton City Hospital. Born on March 10, 1928 in Barachois, NB she was the daughter of the late Thomas Doiron and the late Evangeline Gautreau. Mom was a devoted Roman Catholic and attended Ste. Therese Parish in Dieppe. She was a member of the Knights of Columbus, Council 1310 Ladies Auxiliary. Mom worked in the Billing Department at the T. Eaton Company and in later years for Town and Country Ladies Wear in Highfield Square. Mom was a beautiful lady inside and out. She was often called Queen Elizabeth, which made her smile with pride. She had poise and style and had a true sense for fashion. She was a wonderful cook and very generous, never forgetting the hungry and less fortunate. Mom treasured her family, they meant everything to her. She will be sadly missed by her daughter Pauline Farrell and son Terry (Doris) LeBlanc; her granddaughters, Billie-Jo (Peter) and Tammy (Gary); her precious great-grandsons, Matthew, Benjamin, Dylan and Jackson. She was predeceased by her husband, Alyre (2010), son-in-law, Bill Kelly (1971); sisters, Eva, Julie, Amanda, Anna, and Theresa; brothers, Emile, Camille, Thaddee, Leandre, Antoine and Leonide.
