We sadly regret to announce the passing of our dear Mother, Rita Marriott AuCoin (N\u00e9e Arsenault) formerly of Margaree, at the age of 90 on December 18, 2023. She was the daughter of the late Peter Edward Ned and the late Angelique Julique Arsenault, Arsenault Hill.<\/p>\n
Rita (also called the Queen) was passionate about working in her garden. She enjoyed seeing her flowers grow and watching the birds. She was an avid knitter. She loved fishing, dancing and playing cards, especially a good game of crib or 63. She had a huge interest in genealogy and was continuously researching and gathering information on our family tree which she enjoyed sharing with all her family.<\/p>\n
She is predeceased by her husbands, Clarence Joseph Marriott and George G. AuCoin; sisters, Catherine (Joe Patrick) LeBlanc, Jane (Paddy \u00e0 Mose) LeBlanc, Mary (Patrick) Poirier, Josephine (Johnnie) Muise; and brothers, Simon (Zabine Doucet), and Peter (Margaret \u00e0 Leo LeBlanc).<\/p>\n
Rita is survived by her four children, Daniel Marriott (Conchita), Debbie Ouellette (Richard), Donna Marriott, and Diana Hawley (Jerry); her stepchildren, Diane Aucoin, Donna Aucoin, Joseph Aucoin, Paulette Cadman (Larry), Rhonda Aucoin, and Cindy Aucoin. Rita loved her 8 great-grandchildren and 13 great great-grand children. She is also survived by her two sisters, Theresa Leblanc and Sophie Gracie. Mom will be sadly missed by her children and her grandchildren, her many nieces and nephews from near and far but also the many friends she met throughout her life.<\/p>\n
The family would like to thank the nursing staff and her doctors at the Inverary Manor Nursing Home in Inverness who cared for our wonderful Mother for the last several years. We would also like to thank Dr. Ritter and his assistants for caring for her this past year.<\/p>\n
Cremation has taken place. A Funeral mass with an hour visitation will be held at a later date in St. Michael\u2019s Church, East Margaree followed by burial in the parish cemetery. Family flowers only. Donations in memory of Rita can be made to the Inverary Manor, or the Canadian Cancer Society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
