It is with great sadness that the family announces that Cécile Léger, 85, passed away peacefully Tuesday December 13, 2022, at the Castel des flots bleus in Cap-Pelé, where she resided for three years. Born in Shediac, she was the daughter of the late Euclide and Amanda (Doiron) Léger.
Cécile will be sadly missed by her children and their families: Marc (Mary-Pat Schutta) of Fredericton; Suzanne (Martin Ruddy) of Russell, ON; and Nadine (Martin Lizée) of Montréal, QC; as well as her loving grandchildren: Danielle (Neil Chambers), Madeleine, Gabriel, Catherine, Stella, and Sophie.
One of Cécile’s great pleasures was spending time where she grew up, at the family homestead in Boudreau-Ouest. It is there she would often host gatherings with her children, their spouses, grandchildren, extended family, and, in better health, with her friends.
Cécile fought a long and courageous battle with COPD, which severely impacted her health and mobility in her later years. The family particularly wishes to thank her sister-in-law, Claudette (Léger) Fontaine, her many close friends, nieces, and nephews, who supported her and brought her much joy. We are also grateful for the many care providers who looked after her over the years. She is also survived by a sister, Rose LeBlanc.
She was predeceased by her husband, Richard Léger, in 2006 and three of her four sisters: Simone, Germaine, and Jeannine.
In respect of Cécile’s wishes, there will be no visitation. She will be interned in the Saint Joseph Catholic cemetery in Shediac at a later date.
Funeral arrangements are in the professional care of Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, Shediac.
