Francis, Beatrice Eva
(1943-2019)
75, of Grosses Coques passed away suddenly on Saturday, March 10, 2019 in the Dartmouth General, from a sudden and brief illness. She was the daughter of the late Frank and Eva (Carter) LeBlanc. Survived by her husband of 48 years, James Francis, St John’s Nfld; daughter Donna (Kelvin), MacDonald; son Tim (Cheryl), Francis; Sisters, Yvonne (LeBlanc) Grosses Coques; Eileen LeBlanc (Grosses Coques); 7 grandchildren Megan, Nick, Liam (Francis) and Sarah, James, William, Kate (MacDonald). And her “honorary grandbabies” LeeAnne, Melissa, Stephanie and Nicole; and honorary sister Betty Houghton. And a special mention of one her favorite step cousins Dave Julien. Predeceased by her sisters, Anne LeBlanc, May Comeau; Step-mother, Lavinia LeBlanc (Julien). Beatrice was very creative and crafty; she loved to paint, crochet, and sing & dance; as a devoted catholic she has been an active choir member in the church choir for almost 50 years; she also loved camping, and she had the absolute “best” laugh….that was instantly contagious and very memorable! Bea (as she was lovingly known by her friends and family) was very giving and she always loved unconditionally to all who were lucky enough to know her. Beatrice had a full career as a LPN and loved being a nurse. A special thank you to the exceptional care for our mom /wife by the staff at the Dartmouth General ICU – Dr Young, Dr “Colin” and the wonderful nurses Sandy, Maria and Raylene. We know our mom is up there singing (and dancing) to her favorite song “the Gambler”. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to St Vincent Du Paul Catholic Parish, Dartmouth, NS.
