It is with heavy hearts the family announces the passing of Jacqueline LeBlanc of Moncton on February 11, 2025 at the age of 83 after a brief and courageous battle with cancer, surrounded by her family. Born in Pré-d’en-Haut, she was the daughter of the late Freddie and Lina (Daigle) LeBlanc.

A devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and loving wife, she is survived by Eugene, her husband of 64 years, her son Marc (Joanne), her daughter Chantal (Andrea), grandsons: Alexandre (Danie) and Samuel, and great-grandson Malek. She is also survived by her brothers and sisters: Marie-Germaine (Michel), Carmel (Ronald), Gaston (Murielle), Michel (Marcella), Nicole (Léo), and Marina (Paul Jr); and several nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by four brothers: Jean-Marie, Alyre, Normand, and Gilles.

Jacqueline studied fine arts at Université de Moncton, and pursued her advanced studies in Montreal, Toronto, New England and Paris France. She was an accomplished artist who enjoyed working in a variety of media and techniques. Creating felt was an art that she mastered. Moreover she shared her artistic vision by teaching numerous felting workshops. In particular she was pleased that one of her felt scarves was chosen for presentation to former Governor General of Canada the Honourable Michaëlle Jean.

Special thanks to the many doctors and nurses for their compassionate and professional care during her illness as well as the Angels at Hospice Albert House.

According to her wishes, there will be no visitation or funeral service. A private family reunion will be held at a future date. If desired a donation in memory of Jacqueline can be made to Hospice SENB (Albert House).
