It is with great sadness that the family of Norma Bujold, widow of Simon Bujold, announce her passing on Wednesday July 14, 2021 at her residence in Faubourg du Mascaret at the age of 91. Born in Moncton, she was the daughter of the late Eric Gallant and Sara (LeBlanc) Goguen.
Norma will be sadly missed by her children: Marie-Paule Mattice (Alex), Gilles (Micheline Blanchard), Charles (Gisèle Bourque) and Lise FitzGerald, all of Moncton, Guy (Linda Robichaud) of Sherbrooke, QC, Monique (Patrice) Drapeau of Balmoral, NB, and Jean (Patricia Beukeveld) of Mississauga, ON; her grandchildren: Christine, Sophie, Stéphane, Mireille, Martine, Philipe, Josée, Catherine, Xavier, Erica, Isabelle and Alexandre; her great-grandchildren: Zachary, Luc and James. She also leaves behind her sisters Majella LeBlanc (Camille) of Moncton, and Léola Richard (Donald) of Bouctouche and several nieces and nephews.
Besides her husband and her parents, she was predeceased by her sister Doris.
Family and friends were of great importance to Norma. She loved to spoil and surround them with love. One of her greatest joys was to share a meal with them at one of her favourite restaurants. Norma loved to travel with her beloved Simon and together they visited multiple countries where she discovered wonderful places and formed many friendships. She passed on this passion for travel to her family. She also believed in giving back and volunteered at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont hospital, with Meals on Wheels and was a member of the Dames d’Acadie.
The family would like to specially thank Josette Boudreau, LPN, who provided exceptional care to Norma during the last three years as she battled dementia. We also want to thank the staff at the Faubourg du Mascaret (Pavillons LeBlanc and Cormier) for their patience and aid.
The family will receive condolences at Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, 88 Church Street, Moncton (858-1900) on Saturday July 24 between 9:30 am and 10:45 am.
