Ardith « Sam » Blanchard
1955-2020
We are saddened to announce the passing of Ardith
« Sam » Blanchard, 64, which occurred on March 18,
2020 at the Dr Georges L. Dumont University
Hospital. Sam was born in Exeter, ON, the daughter of the
Late Blanche and Elmer Johnston. Besides her parents, Sam
was predeceased by her husbands Gordon Little and Gary Blanchard,
sisters Linda Nealy and Joyce Jones and brother Roy
Johnston.
Sam grew up in London ON and moved to Moncton in her early
20s. She worked at Marine Atlantic for many years and
various insurance companies. Upon retirement she moved to Hillsborough
so she could spend her days with the love of her life – her
dogs.
She will be fondly remembered by her sisters Flora Beatty,
Muriel Tingley, various nieces and nephews and her
‘kids » – beautiful dogs especially LJ who
was her constant companion for the last 16 years.
In keeping with Sam’s wishes there will be no
public service. Her family will have a private celebration
of Sam’s life.
In honour of Sam, memorial donations to a charity of your
choice would be greatly appreciated.
The family would like to thank the Palliative Care Team at
the Dr Georges L. Dumont University Hospital for all their
compassion and support during this very difficult time.
Sam’s arrangements are entrusted to
Cobb’s Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 330 Whitepine
Road, Riverview (869-2007). Online condolences may be
expressed to her family at www.cobbsfuneralhome.ca
