Deborah Ann Leaman
1951-2018
Debby passed away surrounded by her
family on October 10th 2018 at the Moncton Hospital. Born on 16 March
1951 in Moncton, daughter of the late Alfred and Margaret Harrison of
Elgin.
Living her life in Elgin NB, she was an
active member of the community as a Sunday school teacher at the First
Elgin United Baptist Church, a Girl Guide leader and Post
Master.
An avid cook many family and friends
will miss her amazing meals and hot and spicy nights. She was well
read, enjoyed learning about new things, loved music and singing and
rocked out at many concerts.
An affinity to create and explore, if
she was not in the green house growing vegetables and flowers or
working on her sewing machine making many beautiful garments she was
traveling. As a grandmother of six, she enjoyed spending
time with her grandchildren by the pool or at the pollett river
swimming, making cookies and elaborate birthday cakes for them as well
as spoiling them on shopping sprees.
Debby is survived by sisters; shopping
partner Erla Steeves (Rick), quilting confidant Dolores Murray (John),
gardening guru Tonya Harrison and several nieces and
nephews.
She will be sadly missed by her husband
of 50 years LeeRoy Leaman; children, Tressa (Ben), Nathan
(Kara), Sarah (Gerv), Meghan (Brad); Grandchildren, Maggie, Medley,
Ava, Iris, Mason and Harrison.

doctors, nurses and health care support staff of the Moncton hospital
for their over the top love and care given to Debby.
Thank you as well to the devoted
Palliative Care unit and volunteers who were always there, for all of
us.
Lastly, we will never forget the help,
devotion and respect given us by our many relatives, friends and
neighbours for their compassion.
