Elizabeth’s Obituary
It is with great sadness that the family of the late Elizabeth Blais announce her passing on Wednesday, December 15th, 2021 at the age of 87 years surrounded by her loving family.
Elizabeth was originally from Songia Island but resided in Lourdes where she met her husband of 62 years, Darrell. Elizabeth and Darrell were a true example of love and devotion. Elizabeth was a kind hearted, loving mother to all of her children and grandchildren. Anyone who knew her would agree that she had a heart of gold. Elizabeth was known for her sense of humour, generosity, and endless amount of patience. She showed everyone in her life unconditional love. You could find her rocking in her rocking chair with her hair perfectly curled, rosy pink blush on her sweet cheeks and wearing 2 sweaters with the wood stove burning. Every Sunday Elizabeth loved having her family gather at her home for cooked dinner. She was also known for being an exceptional cook. When she wasn’t in her rocking chair or making a lunch for her husband or one of her many children or grandchildren, she enjoyed playing bingo and cards with a table full of sweets. Elizabeth loved having lots of company, which is why Christmas was her favourite holiday. She always had a house full of family at Christmas with music playing and a smile on everyone’s face. Elizabeth was loved by all who knew her and will be forever missed.
She leaves to mourn with many loving memories: sons: William, Darrell (Mary), Maurice (Ann), Romeo (Kathleen), Richard, and Leonard (Lisa); daughters: Bertha Hynes and Nancy (Patrick) Jesso; 19 grandchildren; 19 great grandchildren; and 1 great great grandchild; as well as a large circle of nieces, nephews, extended relatives and friends.
Elizabeth was predeceased by: her husband Darrell (2016); grandchild Michael Blais; son-in-law Edward Hynes; daughter -in-law Rosemary Blais; and siblings: John, Richard, Minnie, Mary B., Margaret, Theresa, and Alexander.
Visitation will take place on Friday, December 17th at 2-4 & 7-9 PM from Our Lady of Lourdes Parish. From where the funeral Mass will also be held on Saturday, December 18th at 10:30 AM with interment to follow at the Roman Catholic Cemetery, West Bay.
