It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Alphée J. LeBlanc, on March 7, 2022, at the Villa Providence, Shediac, at the age of 92. Born in Cap Pelé, he was the son of the late Thaddée and Herminie (Cormier) LeBlanc.
Although he lived for many years in Shediac, and then in Dieppe, his heart never left his native village of Cap Pelé, a place he would visit daily. He was an entrepreneur throughout his life but the role he cherished most was that of grandfather to Christian and Samuel. He was generous of heart and thought and welcoming to all. Always jovial and quick-witted, we will miss his presence and joie de vivre.
He will be sadly missed by his wife, Edith (Landry); his children: Denise (Glenda) and Jacques (Donna); two grandsons: Christian (Melissa) and Samuel, and one great-grandson, Luca. He is also survived by his sisters: Elizabeth Greek and Jeanne Olscamp (late Edmond); a brother, Jean LeBlanc (late Georgette); two sisters-in-law: Rose LeBlanc and Irene LeBlanc, as well as many nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his brothers: Aurèle, Joseph, Amance, Gérard, André, Azor and Raymond; his sisters: Andréa, Catherina and infant sister, Claire.
The family will receive condolences at Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, 396 Main Street, Shediac (532-3297), on Thursday March 10 from 7 to 9 pm and Friday March 11 from 9:45 am until time of departure (10:45 am). The funeral mass will be celebrated at St-Joseph R.C. Church, 415 Main Street, Shediac, on Friday March 11 at 11 am. Interment will be in the Frenette Funeral Centre columbarium, Shediac. Face coverings are mandatory to enter the funeral centre and church.
We would like to thank the staff of Villa Providence Shediac for the care and support given to the family during his stay.
In memory of Alphée, a contribution to the Villa Providence (Activity Fund) would be appreciated.
