March 27, 1936 – March 4, 2023
Age 86 – It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Marie Dora (LeBlanc) Delaney-Aucoin at the Foyer Père Fiset Guest Home, Chéticamp, NS. She is survived by her children, Johanne (Jean-Gilles Chiasson) Delaney, Gordon (Monique) Delaney, Dorena (Thom) Gillis, Donna (Patrick Rogerson) Delaney; siblings, Helene Delaney, Alfred LeBlanc, and Jeanne (Bill) Roode; her dear friend, Daniel Aucoin; and her son-in-law, Kevin Tompkins; as well as seven grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was the eldest child of Adèle and Siméon LeBlanc of Cap-le-Moine. She was pre-deceased by her parents; spouses, Clifford Delaney and Georgie Aucoin; daughter, Marie Tompkins; and siblings, Agnes (Aldéric) LeBlanc-Melanson, and Arthur (Elaine) LeBlanc.
Dora was an integral part of the community of St Joseph du Moine and Grand Étang. She was an active member of various committees and was very involved in the church and choir. She provided catering services for various events for many years and, well into her later years, was still selling her homemade rolls at the local Co-op. She very much enjoyed playing 200 and crib.
The family wishes to thank the staff of the Sacred Heart Community Health Centre and the Foyer Père Fiset for their care of Dora during the past year.
Visitation will take place on Friday, March 10, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm, at St. Joseph’s Church, St. Joseph du Moine. A funeral mass will be celebrated at St. Joseph’s Church, St. Joseph du Moine on Saturday, March 11 at 10:30 a.m. with Father Peter LeBlanc officiating.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of Nova Scotia or the Foyer Père Fiset.
