Anne Blanchard, 82, of Shediac, passed away on Friday April 1, 2022 at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont UHC with her family by her side. Born in PEI, she was the daughter of the late Paul and Rita (Inman) Gallant.
Anne enjoyed spending time at her cottage and her trailer. She enjoyed early morning walks to the beach to collect beach glass and seashells. She loved to rent cottages on PEI with family and friends, where they would play music, play card games, and share laughter and memories. Anne was known for her many accessories, whether it be a hat, scarf, sunglasses, or jewelry. However, she will be greatly remembered most by her long black coat.
