Edith Lorraine LeBlanc (Roland)
North Sydney
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother Lorraine, age 90, on Thursday, April 16, 2020, at the Northside General Hospital.
Born in Alder Point on September 28, 1929, she was the daughter of the late Louis and Theresa (Boudreau) Roland.
She was a woman of strong faith, which inspired us all. She loved to watch the WWF Wrestling, play TV Bingo, and she was a die-hard Montreal Canadiens hockey fan.
She is survived by her seven sons; Maurice (Christine), Alder Point, Danny (Cindy), Big Bras d’Or, Frankie (Ona), Bras d’Or, Donnie (Janet), Sydney Mines, Gary (Debbie), Fort McMurray, Louis (Dawn), Florence, and Art, Alder Point, three daughters; Theresa, Florence, Cathy (Maurice), Cheticamp, and Patricia (Pat), Resicare, Sydney. She also leaves behind sisters Marie (Omar), Montreal, Theresa (Charles), Halifax, and Karen (Paul), Halifax, brothers Clifford (Elizabeth), Millville, and Greg (Brenda), Bras d’Or, 31 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren.
Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her step-mother Mary Roland (Williams), son Darren, daughter Tena (MacLellan), husband Maurice, sisters Annette, Regina, and Margie, brothers John, Billy, Louis and Bernie, daughters-in-law Tena (Alderson) and Carol (LeBlanc), and son-in-law Roy Power.
We will miss her dearly, especially her best friend Evelyn. We will carry her in our hearts forever.
The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff of the Cape Breton Regional and Northside hospitals for all the care and compassion given to her and her family during this difficult time. A special thank you to all the homecare workers, whom she loved dearly. You all have a special gift. In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to Resicare, Sydney, or a charity of your choice.
A funeral Mass celebrating her life, and burial will take place at a later date. Words of comfort may be forwarded to her family at www.jmjobesfuneralhome.com
