Margaret Mary Leahy (Leblanc), finished her journey home, on Jan. 15, 2011, peacefully at home.
Margaret was born in Cap Rouge, C.B., to Helene (Chiasson) and Auguste Leblanc, and was the last surviving member of her family.

She was a wonderful Nannie to and so proud of Charity, Melissa, Shaun, Jessica, Rebecca, Sean, Simon and Alyssa and great Nana to Ryan and Nathan and Mercedes.
She is also survived by sisters-in-law, Dorothy (late Percy) Tutty, Mary Leahy and Dianna (Clark) MacKinnon as well as a large extended family.
Left to mourn Margaret's passing are a large amount of friends from all over the world, she met while she and Archie owned and operated the Fleur du Lis Motel in Louisbourg.
Retiring to the Mira, mom enjoyed being on the river with Archie, having sing-songs and playing cards with her late sister Yvonne. More recently mom enjoyed her days with the angels that came into all of our lifes at just the right time. We thank them all.
