Waunita Irene McGarrigle
1958-2020
The passing of Waunita Irene (Leavitt) McGarrigle, wife of the late
Kenneth Charles McGarrigle of Blacks Harbour NB occurred at the Saint
John Regional Hospital, Saint John NB on January 22, 2020. Born in
Bocabec NB on March 27, 1958, she was a daughter of the late Richmond
and Violet (Merchant) Leavitt. A loving mother, grandmother and
sister, Waunita is survived by her daughters: Amanda (Trevor) Johnston
and Shelby McGarrigle both of Blacks Harbour NB; one grandson: Gabriel
Johnston of Blacks Harbour NB; one granddaughter: Sophia Johnston of
Blacks Harbour NB; sisters: Francis Sinclair and Patricia (Bernard)
Blanchard both of Bocabec NB; brothers: Keith (Amber) Leavitt of Old

was predeceased by her brothers: Roger Leavitt, Wayne Leavitt and
Aaron Leavitt.
Prior to illness, Waunita worked in several different fields but was
last employed with Charlotte Shellfish in Lepreau. She enjoyed
spending her days with her family, especially her grandchildren, and
she looked forward to having them visit. In her quiet time, Waunita
could be found playing games on the computer or just enjoying some
peaceful time in the outdoors. Her love and devotion to her family
will be sadly missed but always cherished by her loved ones.
