Francis Léger, 80, of Moncton, passed away on
Monday January 3 2022 at the Faubourg du Mascaret. Born in Moncton, he
was the son of the late Alphonse and Lorette (Arsenault)
Léger.
Francis spent the better part of his life working within a
variety of financial institutions in New Brunswick and
Newfoundland. He was very proud of his sons and
grandchildren, spending considerable time cheering them on and being
their number one fan in various sports. Francis gave back to
the community by way of volunteering for organizations such as
«La Société des Jeux
d’Acadie» and «Les Jeunes
Entreprises» in Bathurst. He will be dearly
missed.
He is survived by his three children: Jeff (Stephane) of
Toronto, ON, Denis (Michèle O’Connell) of
Edmundston, and Paul (Aislynn Slupsky) of Moncton; eight
grandchildren: Ben, Madeleine, Chloé, Sarah, Rebecca,
Hannah, Kalina, and Kole; two sisters: Loretta Poirier (Robert), and
Muriel Levy (Don), both of Shediac; as well as his nieces and
nephews.
Besides his parents, Francis was predeceased by one sister,
Cécile Langis (Val); and one brother, Paul.
The family will receive condolences at Frenette Funeral and
Cremation Centre, 88 Church Street, Moncton (858-1900) from where the
funeral service will be celebrated on Saturday January 8 at 11 am.
