SAINT-LOUIS-DE-KENT, NB – Leopold Doiron, 82, of
St. Louis de Kent passed away peacefully at La Villa Maria, St. Louis
on Sunday, December 6th, 2020, just 3 days shy of his 83rd birthday.
Born in St. Louis, he was the son of the late Euclide and Marie-Rose

Leopold, like many Maritimers, left Canada in 1964 and headed
to Massachusetts with his bride in search of work. He
mastered his carpentry skills in Waltham, MA, settled into married
life, had four children, and surrounded himself with family and
friends both old and new. In 1976, he moved his family back to his
hometown, St. Louis de Kent NB, where he continued working in
carpentry and returned to the family tradition of commercial
fisheries, which he embraced until his retirement.
Leopold was deeply devoted to his family, his friends, and
his faith. He leaves to mourn his four daughters, Jacqueline Johnson
(Omer), Michelle Cormier (Philippe) both of St. Louis, Gloria Reidpath
(Andre) of Rexton, Linda Hebert (Theodore) of Moncton; seven
grandchildren, Daniel, Denis, Maxime, Amanda, Melissa, Joelle,
& Gabriel; as well as seven great grandchildren, Ty, Sophie,
Mia, Olivier, Robert, William and Joseph.
Leopold will also be sadly missed by his brother, Bernard
Doiron (late Dorothy) of Pointe-du-Chene; his three sisters, Geraldine
Daigle (Ovila) of Oromocto, Rosanna Drouin (late Nelson) of Montreal,
QC and Gabrielle Cyr (Norman) of Connecticut;; two sisters-in-law,
Exilda Doiron of Collette; Angèle Doiron of Aldouane, one
brother-in-law, Antoine Arsenault (Nicole) of Bouctouche, as well as
by his many nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents, Leopold was predeceased by his wife,
Germaine, his sister Florence Babineau (late Sylvain), and his two
brothers, Omer and Gilbert Doiron.
