It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Nita on August 17, 2018 after a brief battle with cancer.
Born on October 15, 1944 she was the daughter of the late Mildred and George LeRoy.
She is survived by two sisters, Lila Dufour (Bud) and Joan Dupe (Harvey). Also survived by many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Besides her parents, Nita was predeceased by her special nephew, George Dufour and two special uncles, Leo and Alvin Deveaux. Also, by grandparents, Catherine and Jeffery Deveaux and Rosalie and Louis LeRoy and step grandfather, William Fewer.
Nita was a medic in the Reserved Army in Sydney and later employed at Mason Wholesale.
To all who knew Nita and loved her, remember the laughter and her wonderful sense of humour. She stayed strong, fighting cancer on her own terms with faith, courage, and Carol by her side holding her hand until her peaceful passing.
Thank you, Billy Martell, for all your visits and to all who cared for Nita at C.B. Reg. Hospital. A special thank you to the staff and volunteers of the palliative care unit for your kindness, incredible support and for making Nita’s final days peaceful.
Cremation has taken place under the direction of Sydney Memorial Chapel.
