Leda Maillet, 104, formerly of Notre-Dame, sadly left this world peacefully surrounded by family and staff at the Foyer Saint-Antoine on Sunday December 12, 2021. Born in Saint-Antoine, she was the daughter of the late François "Bruno" Melanson and Zita (Allain) Allain.

An amazing person, she loved everyone and they loved her back. She was kind, caring, and helped the people she could. Leda enjoyed her flowers, her gardens and making quilts.

She is survived by her daughter, Adrienne (Romeo) of Saint-Edouard; her son, Paul of Notre-Dame; two grandsons: Daniel (Janet) and Richard (Sheena); two great-grandchildren: Jordan and Kaylee; one brother, Clarence (Simone) of Lancaster, MA; as well as several nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her husband, Lionel (2007); four sisters: Azelie (Edgar), Helene (Zoel), Yvonne (Joe), and Leona (Antoine); four brothers: Antoine (Florida), John (Aline), Ernest (Lorraine), and Irois (Corinne).

The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude towards the staff of Foyer Saint-Antoine for their exceptional care and attention provided to Leda and always making sure our mother was happy. We truly appreciate every little gesture that everyone made to make her feel at home.

Due to the pandemic, there will be no visitation. The funeral mass will be celebrated at Notre-Dame-du-Sacré-Coeur R.C. Church, 3863 Route 115, Notre-Dame-de-Kent, on Tuesday December 14 at 4 pm. Interment will be in parish cemetery. Face covering is mandatory, and proof of vaccination and government issued identification card are required to enter the church. In memory of Leda, a contribution to the Foyer Saint-Antoine would be appreciated. Funeral arrangements are in the professional care of Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, Moncton (858-1900).
