It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Normand Léger at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont UHC on April 6, 2024. Born in Barachois, he was the son of the late Ulric Léger and the late Marie-Jeanne (Caissie).
Before his retirement, Normand worked in the construction business and had been a fisherman in the state of New-York. He also owned and managed a take-out in the province of Québec. Recently, he worked at the pine needles Golf and Country club. Even in sickness, Normand never lost his sense of humour. He was a man of few words and was always willing to give a helping hand to people of the community. As a hobby, he enjoyed watching sports and playing guitar.
Normand will be sadly missed by his daughter, Sophie Lanteigne (Jonathan); his son, René Léger; three step-sons: Michel Cormier, Daniel Cormier (Line), and Paul Cormier (Jeannie); two step-daughters: Monique LeBlanc (Richard) and Nathalie Cormier (Kris); his biological son, Danny Ouellet; his five sisters: Cathy Furlong (Leon), Murielle Doll (George), Lucille LeBlanc (Fernand), Jeanne Gaudet (Ubald), and Sr. Huberte Léger (Daughters of Jesus); nine grandchildren: Mali, Alexandria, Jasmine, Zacharie, Mélika, Janelle, Nate, Mathieu, and Patrick, as well as several nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his late first wife, Claudette Bourdage; his late second wife, Thérèse Léger; his eight brothers: Arthur, Bernard, Omer, Fernand, Ulysse, John, Michel, and Rhéo; one sister, Antoinette.
We are appreciative of the palliative care at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont UHC.
In accordance with his wishes, there will be no visitation and no funeral service. Interment will be at St-Henri de Barachois cemetery in Grand-Barachois. In memory of Normand, a donation to the CHU Dumont Foundation (oncology) or to a charity of the donor’s choice would be appreciated.
