Redmond “Reddie” Arthur Leavitt
1937-2020
The passing of Redmond “Reddie” Arthur Leavitt occurred
unexpectedly at his residence in Upper L’Etang NB on December 22,
2020. Born in Back Bay NB on October 18, 1937, he was a son of the
late Victor and Edna “Marie” (Oliver) Leavitt. A loving
father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle and friend, Reddie will
be sadly missed by his children: Eileen Shaw (Terry) of Limekiln NB,
Kelly Childs of Saint John NB, Darren Leavitt of Blacks Harbour NB,
Judy Whipple (Stan) of Ontario, Allison Leavitt of St. George NB and
Stacy Hanley (Darren) of Back Bay NB; his chosen children: Laurie Boyd
(Terry) of Bonny River NB and Cathy Mitchell (Martin) of Pocologan NB;
many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; siblings: Theresa,
Blanche, Edna, Lorna, Allen and Lorne; several nieces, nephews and
cousins. In addition to his parents, Reddie was predeceased by his
long time companion: Barbara Donaher; one son: David; one daughter:
Connie; granddaughter: Ocean; a great-grandson: Zackary; special
nephew: Gerry Leavitt; and siblings: Clayton, Mary, Olive and Alice.
Prior to retirement, Reddie was a fisherman his whole life, working
for years on the sardine boats for Connors Bros. then eventually
becoming self employed. He was a jack of all trades and there wasn’t
anything he couldn’t do or wasn’t willing to try. He loved keeping his
yard just so, working in his garden, hunting, fishing, watching sports
on TV and his morning talks with Blanche, Lorne and Allen. He
especially loved his drives with his sons, Darren and Allison. Reddie
will always be remembered for always being there for his family, day
or night, and will be missed by each and every one of them.
Arrangements in the care of the St. George Funeral Home (755-3533) 26
Portage Street, St. George NB. As keeping with Reddie’s wishes, there
will be no funeral services. In his memory, donations to a charity of
the donor’s choice would be appreciated by the family.
