In Loving Memory of Maurice<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Maurice LeLi\u00e8vre, 71 which occurred on Saturday, September 6, 2025 at the Sacred Heart Community Health Centre, Cheticamp.<\/p>\n

Maurice will be remembered for his thoughtful nature and deep appreciation for life. He shared with his family and friends a love of travel, especially with his niece Nicole, of a good conversation and a commitment to community that touched the lives of many. Maurice spent many years living in Ottawa, where he built lasting friendships and meaningful professional relationships. He was a proud St FX Alumnus, class of 1975; this year was his 50th class reunion. Maurice will be remembered for his good humour and his deep love for friends and family. He never took those moments for granted, and his legacy is one of connection, kindness, and quiet dedication.<\/p>\n

Seventeen years ago, Maurice returned home to his beloved Cape Breton. He settled ‘au p\u2019tit lac<\/em>‘, a place that brought him great peace and joy. Though he embraced the slower pace of life, Maurice wasn\u2019t quite ready to fully retire. A dedicated volunteer, he generously gave his time to numerous committees, always striving to make a positive impact. He was acknowledged for his volunteerism in 2024 with the King Charles III Coronation Medal for Public Service. He continued to share his time and talents through his work with the Conseil de d\u00e9veloppement \u00e9conomique de la Nouvelle-\u00c9cosse <\/em>(CD\u00c9N\u00c9), remaining active and engaged until the time of his passing.<\/p>\n

He leaves behind his sister, Josephine and brother-in-law, Leandre whom he spent much time with; his brother, Ren\u00e9 and sister-in-law, Marie; numerous nieces, nephews and even grand-nieces and nephews. He was affectionately known to many simply as Uncle Mau. He will also be missed by many cherished friends and colleagues.<\/p>\n

He was predeceased by his father, Marcelin; mother, Jeannette; step-father, Denis; and brothers, Hector, Adrien, and Marcel. Maurice’s memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. Maurice would often say, \u201cLa vie est belle<\/em>\u201d, a good reminder to appreciate all the little moments life has to offer. Thank you to the staff at Sacred Heart Community Health Centre, especially Doctor Kassy and Doctor Am\u00e9lie.<\/p>\n

Visitation will be held in St. Joseph\u2019s Church, St. Joseph du Moine on Monday, September 15, 2025 from 9:30 am until time of funeral mass at 11:00 am with Father Daniel Gustave officiating. Burial to follow in the parish cemetery.<\/p>\n

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to La Paroisse de Saint Joseph du Moine, The Heart and Stroke Foundation or charity of your choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
