It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of Sandra Marie LeFort on July 21, 2026, at the age of 68. Sandra died surrounded by her loving family in the Halifax Infirmary, QEII following her brief battle with cancer.

Sandra was born on November 7th, 1957, in Cheticamp and grew up in Petit Étang
nestled between the ocean and the mountains. She was the daughter of the late Joseph and the late Lucy (Aucoin) LeBlanc. Here she learned a lot about family, love, warm welcomes and friendships.

Sandra spent a good part of her working years at Les Trois Pignons. For over 20 years she managed the bookstore at the Cabot Trail National Park. With a strong pride in her Acadian Heritage, she educated and shared with others her knowledge of Acadian culture, traditions, music, art, and history.

Sandra was known for her warm smile, kind heart, and infectious laugh. Beautiful inside and out, she was always a selfless nurturer to family and friends alike. There was a warmth that shined through her that was inspirational. She always lent a helping hand to those in need and held a special place in her heart for the elderly. She could always be seen spending quality time with her two sisters with whom she shared an unbreakable bond.

Sandra leaves behind her beloved husband, Ernest; her brother, Wayne (Marielle), sister, Nettie (predeceased Gerry), brother, Donny (Alcida), and sister, Charlene (predeceased Donald); brothers-in-law, Rene (Marie), and David (Stephen); sisters-in-law, Bernice (Roger), and Marthe (Linus); nieces, Kim, Kelly, Erica (predeceased); nephews, Todd, Colin, and Marc along with other extended family and many cherished friends.

A Special thank you to the staff of 8.4 at the QEII, Halifax Infirmary. Funeral mass will be celebrated on Wednesday, August 5, 2026 at 10:30 am in St. Peter’s Church, Cheticamp with Father Daniel Gustave and Deacon Gerald LeBlanc officiating. Burial will follow in the parish cemetery.

Memorial donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
