On Wednesday, May 20, 2026, Elizabeth Chiasson passed away peacefully, surrounded by the love of her girls at her bedside. <\/p>\n
Left to mourn this tremendous loss and navigate life without her are her three daughters, Bernice (Mike) Lucas, Jeannine (G\u00e9las) Aucoin, and Gis\u00e8le (Paul) Gartland.<\/p>\n
She will be missed dearly by her greatest blessings, her grandchildren, Melissa, Ren\u00e9e (Rob), Ryan, Allison (Aaron), Hannah (James) and Marcus (Molly). Many days were enjoyed sitting with M\u00e9m\u00e8re on her veranda in the summer eating popsicles, or baking cookies and only being trusted to roll the dough in sugar. <\/p>\n
She was the most proud grand-m\u00e9m\u00e8re to Riley, Connor, Jacob, Rory, and Owen. <\/p>\n
Her nieces and nephews will also feel this tremendous loss, as she held a special place in their hearts, and they in hers. <\/p>\n
Affectionately known as Zabeth, she was a true \u2018Moinouse\u2019 to her core. She was in her glory perched on her front step each summer, happily watching as the cars passed by, each driver giving a honk and a wave – whether locals or tourists. <\/p>\n
Living in the family homestead for the majority of her years, mom made sure her door was open to everyone. It was the meeting place for friends and family alike, often a rousing game of cards enjoyed around the table. She even managed to host a few weary Irish kayakers caught in stormy seas. The family home was always bustling during Mi-Car\u00eame, much to Zabeth\u2019s joy. Home was also a place where she and her sisters, Th\u00e9r\u00e8se, Eileen, Marie Hilda, and Diane (fondly known as the Golden Girls) would meet, reminisce on days past, or solve the problem of the day. <\/p>\n
Those who knew Zabby knew one of her true loves was food. It was her greatest pleasure to prepare and enjoy a meal or a treat for her guests, and she made sure that no belly left her table hungry. She always made sure that her family\u2019s requests for Yum Yum squares or chocolate chip cookies were always fulfilled. You could tell she took great joy in preparing food for others, and without a doubt the secret ingredient in each of her dishes was a large helping of love. <\/p>\n
Of all of her pastimes, bingo and breakopen tickets were her favourites. Elizabeth loved a good game of chance. Though she didn\u2019t always win back what she spent, she never lost hope for better luck next time. <\/p>\n
She had a keen ear for music, especially when her favourite fiddler Colin would launch into Sandy MacIntyre\u2019s \u2018Trip to Boston\u2019 especially for her. <\/p>\n
The last remaining matriarch of the family, Elizabeth was predeceased by her parents Mo\u00efse & Luce Agnes (Chiasson) LeBlanc; each of her siblings, Albert, Clifford, Linus, Julia, Th\u00e9r\u00e8se, Eileen, Marie Hilda and Dianne. Over the past 32 years, she has mourned and deeply missed her son Linus, and her granddaughters Lindsay and Ashley; her husband, Bernie \u00e0 William who she has been without since 2015; and by her eldest son, Kevin. Most recently, she lost her granddaughter, Justine. <\/p>\n
Mom\u2019s tremendous strength and resilience were evident in living a life full of love and vigour despite the many heartbreaking losses she endured. She was an example for so many on navigating life following loss. Elizabeth was steadfast and stoic, a pillar for the entire family to lean on for support. <\/p>\n
A devout Catholic, her unwavering faith and steadfast devotion to Ste. Anne guided mom spiritually to weather many challenges she encountered throughout her life.<\/p>\n
To honour her memory, we ask that you think of her each time you see a hummingbird (her favourites to watch from her window in recent years), or when sharing a recipe with a friend. <\/p>\n
With deep gratitude, we extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff and administrators of Foyer P\u00e8re Fiset for the care mom received during her time there. <\/p>\n
Please know that your kind words of comfort, acts of kindness, and support have helped us through these most difficult times. May each act of love, that each and every one of you have shown to us be returned tenfold.<\/p>\n
Visitation will take place on Saturday, May 30, 2026 in St. Joseph\u2019s Church, St. Joseph du Moine from 10am until time of funeral mass at 11am with Father Martin MacDougall and Father Peter LeBlanc officiating. Should you be so inclined, memorial donations may be made in her memory to St. Joseph\u2019s Church, St. Joseph du Moine du Moine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
