Edwin LeBlanc, 87, of Résidence O’ Bon Soins, passed away on Saturday December 24, 2022, at his residence. Born in Barachois, he was the son of the late Edée and Lucie (Leger) LeBlanc.

Edwin worked for 37 years at CNR as a railroad maintenance technician. After retirement, Edwin and his wife Anita enjoyed traveling throughout Canada and the United States. They shared a great life together and were inseparable.

Edwin will be greatly missed by his family and loved ones. He was a man of few words but was cherished by many for his kind spirit and great sense of humour.

He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Anita (Cormier); two sisters-in-law: Géraldine LeBlanc and Olga LeBlanc; as well as many nieces and nephews. He was the last surviving member of his immediate family.

Edwin was predeceased by four sisters: Albertine, Léona, Florida and Alma; as well as five brothers: Joseph, Henri, Valérie, Gilbert and Émile.

The family wishes to thank the staff at Résidence O’Bon Soins and Shediac extra-mural, especially Martine Turmel, for taking great care of Edwin.
