LeBLANC, DORIS - It is with great sadness the family announces the passing of Doris Joan (White) LeBlanc. Doris was born in Saint John West Side to the late Nelson and Ella White on September 19, 1932. Doris was the loving wife of Michael (Max) LeBlanc. Alongside her husband, Doris helped to build a successful flooring business in the Milford and Randolph area for close to 20 years. Doris was always active in her community and after raising her family, became one of the founding members of the Denis Morris Community Centre and held the position of treasurer for many years. In her later years, Doris became an avid bingo player and could be found at many a bingo hall throughout the Saint John and surrounding areas in the evening. During the day, Doris was at McAllister Mall finding a bargain and enjoying a cup of coffee, good conversation and great company, not to leave out taking a chance on a scratch ticket or two. Doris will be sorely missed. Doris is survived by her three daughters, Carol (Howard) Trainor, Cheryl (Patrick) McNulty and Michele (Victor Jr.) Holmes; six grandchildren, Michael (Darleen) McNulty, Maureen (Tim) Murphy, Adam Trainor, Taryn Holmes, Tessa Holmes and Tamara Holmes; three great-grandchildren, Matthew McNulty, Mitchell McNulty and Patrick Murphy; two sisters, Gertrude Douglas of Toronto and Pamela Lynch of Fredericton. Besides her parents and husband, Max, she was predeceased by her brothers, Earl White, Harold White, Frederick White and Clifford White; sisters, Alvena Ingersol, Leoda White and Donna White.
