LeBLANC, MARIE AGNÈS
(1920 – 2015)
Rogersville – It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Marie LeBlanc. She peacefully passed away, on October 22nd, 2015, at the age of 95, at the Foyer Assomption, of Rogersville. Born April 21st, 1920, she was the daughter of the late Joseph Haché and of the late Catherine Bourque.
She will be missed by her five children: Philias Cormier (Eva) of Collette, Catherine Cormier (Fille de Jesus) of Rogersville, Sylvain Cormier (Thérèse) of Drummond, Lucienne Richardson (Dale) of St-Stephen and Claudine Boudreau (Raymond) of Cambridge, ON; her nine grandchildren: Alain Cormier (Kriszta), Guy Cormier, Paul Cormier (Annette), Manon Cormier (Sébastien Viel), Pierre Cormier, Brian Richardson, Terry Richardson (Debbie), Kevin Richardson, and Kelly Ann Boudreau; her six great grandchildren; her four brothers: Rosimond (the late Mildred), Georges (Aldona), Eddie (Huberte Boucher) and Lucien (Vitaline); her three sisters: Priscille (the late Gérard Cormier), Thérèse (Aldéric Cormier), and Velma, as well as many nephews and nieces.
She was predeceased by her husbands: Régis Cormier and Albert LeBlanc; three brothers: Alexandre, Antoine and Léo, as well as a sister, Lorraine.
Marie was a person who loved life very much. She enjoyed when her children, grandchildren and friends came to visit. She also had a great sense of humour. She was a very enterprising person. For several years, she was in charge of the church suppers during the novena of Notre-Dame de l’Assomption, and for the preparation for wedding suppers. She was an excellent seamstress, and during her retirement, she enjoyed making quilts that she gave to her children and grandchildren. She also loved to knit. When she wasn’t knitting, she was reciting the rosary. Thus it fed her great devotion to the Virgin Mary.
The family will be receiving relatives and friends at the Salon ‘La Colombe’, 11325, highway 126 in Rogersville, Wednesday, October 28th, at 2pm.
