It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our
Mom, Thérèse Cassidy, 94, on Wednesday October
27, 2021 at the Villa du Repos, formerly of Moncton and
L’Auberge du Soleil in Dieppe. Born in Dover, she was the
daughter of the late Henri and Anna (Bourque) Gauvin.
Thérèse worked at Eaton’s and
The Bay restaurant (Codiac Caboose). She also volunteered at Dr.
Georges-L.-Dumont Hospital. Some of her passions were playing 200,
knitting and making quilts but none greater than time spent with her
children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren who were her pride and
joy.
She is survived by three daughters: Dorine Leaman (late Alan)
of Moncton, Phyllis Killam (Brian) of Riverview, and Francine LeBlanc
(Luc) of Shediac Bridge; two sons: Léo-Paul of Moncton and
Ron of Riverview; one son-in-law, Steven Kelly of Moncton; 14
grandchildren: James, Cindy, Shelly, Monique, Mathieu,
Stéphane, Julie, André, Alex, Jeremy, Michael,
Christopher, Stephanie, and Jasmine; 16 great-grandchildren: Maxwell,
River, Jemma, Sarah, Braeden, Brody, Carson, Caleb, Léa,
Miguel, Amélie, Gavin, Parker, Arlow, Charlotte, and Clark;
three sisters: Annette LeBlanc (late Paul Owen), Andréa
LeBlanc (René), and Huberte LeBlanc (Bernard), all of
Dieppe; two brothers: Donald of Saint-Charles and Hubert (Yvonne) of
Dieppe; four sisters-in-law: Joan Gauvin of Shediac, Jeannine Gauvin
of Dieppe, Eleanor Gauvin of Moncton, and Florine Gauvin of Moncton;
as well as several nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her husband, Edouard "Eddy";
one daughter, Janice; one son, Norbert; two sisters:
Dorothée "Dot" and Rosa; four brothers:
Gérard "Gerry", Fernand "Fern", Euclide
"Euky", and Joseph "Joe".
The family wishes to extend their sincere gratitude to the

Thérèse during her stay.
