It is with great sadness that the family of Jacqueline (LeBlanc) Sullivan announce her peaceful passing at the Résidence Notre-Dame-du-Sacré-Coeur in Dieppe, on Sunday October 25, 2020. Born in Moncton, NB, she was the daughter of the late Edgar T. and Anna (Landry) LeBlanc. Jackie and her loving husband Jack Sullivan resided in Saint John for most of their 67 years of married life. Following the death of Jack, she relocated to her hometown of Moncton, N.B.
Jackie devoted her life to her family and worked tirelessly to provide a loving home. She also loved to entertain. The many parties and celebrations with family and friends will be remembered as full of music, laughter and joy.
She will be sadly missed by her children and their families: Ann Sullivan of Toronto, ON, Mike Sullivan (Brenda Santaga) and Donna Landry (John) both of North Vancouver, BC, Brian Sullivan (Sue) of Prince Rupert, BC, Marilyn Sullivan (Tim Preston-Thomas) of Ottawa, ON, and Maura George of Toronto, ON; 18 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren; several brothers and sisters: Zilla Charlebois, Jean-Paul LeBlanc, Sr. Germaine LeBlanc, Euclida Bourque, Jeannine (Don O’Hearn), Josette Levesque, Huberte Boissonnault, Jules (Marguerite) LeBlanc, and Guy LeBlanc; as well as several nieces and nephews.
In addition to her husband Jack, Jackie was predeceased by her daughter Mary-Jane; brothers: René LeBlanc, Raymond LeBlanc and Dr. Gérard LeBlanc.
Many thanks to the doctors and nurses of Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont UHC cardiac unit for their compassionate care and understanding. The family would also like to extend a most grateful thank you to the staff of the Résidence Notre-Dame-du-Sacré-Coeur. They not only provided our mother with very special care over the last four years but became a part of our family. In the final days, the extraordinary care comforted Jackie and the entire family. Furthermore, their assistance in navigating the challenges of the current pandemic to ensure that Mom had family beside her in her final moments will be forever cherished.
