It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Marguerite Rose Delvina (LeBlanc) Bourgeois at the age of 99. Mom left us on the 1st<\/sup> of February, 2023. She was a resident of Foyer P\u00e8re Fiset in Ch\u00e9ticamp. Wife of Alexandre Bourgeois and daughter of Philippe LeBlanc and Anastasie Poirier. She is survived by Ronald Bourgeois (Jane Bate-Bourgeois). She is the last of the Ph’lip<\/em> \u00e0 Joe de Magr\u00e9 (John, L\u00e9o, Edmond, Elizabeth, Wilfred, Antoinette, Antoinette, Lorette, Alex, Joseph, Charlie, Rita).<\/p>\n

As a young girl, Mom was passionate about salmon fishing, cooking, sewing and music. She accompanied on guitar, her brother Charlie, who played the fiddle at various dances in the Margaree area. She taught me my first guitar chords and was an unending source of inspiration.<\/p>\n

She followed her passion for cooking to New Jersey and New York where for several years she was cook for a well-known New Jersey family. With her husband Alex, they founded the Harbour Restaurant in Ch\u00e9ticamp and owned it for several years. She was also one of the founders and chef of the restaurant \u201cLa Coop\u00e9rative artisanale de Ch\u00e9ticamp\u201d.<\/p>\n

An avid seamstress, she was a salesclerk (fabrics, patterns) at \u201cWillie \u00e0 Charles\u201d and later shared her passion for sewing with others, by offering adult evening courses at NDA school. Volunteering was always an important aspect of her life. Mom was a member of a dynamic group of ladies, who for years, provided wedding feasts at the parish hall \u201cLe Centre Acadien\u201d. Mom believed in giving back to her community and was proud of her participation in various groups such as the Ladies Auxiliary, \u201cLes dames de Sainte-Anne\u201d and \u201cLe p\u2019tit Woolco\u201d. She loved playing cards (deux cents and bridge), cooking and entertaining. She could prepare a feast in record time, make every visit an event, and guess the cards “in your hand” after one pass.<\/p>\n

As the youngest of the family, mom cared deeply for her brothers and sisters, nieces, and nephews. Her heart was as big as her smile and her love as deep as her brilliant blue eyes.<\/p>\n

Jane and I would like to thank her many friends, family members, the entire team at Foyer P\u00e8re Fiset for the love, care and support you have given to her over the years. In the spirit of volunteerism and the great faith that mom held dear, we ask that in lieu of flowers to please make a donation to \u201cParoisse St. Pierre\u201d for the maintenance of our community church, \u201c\u00c9glise Saint-Pierre\u201d.<\/p>\n

Cremation has already taken place. Funeral mass will be held in May 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
