It is with great sadness that the family of the late Evelina LeRoy (nee Benoit) of Point au Mal announce her passing on Saturday, February 5th, 2022, at the age of 74. She leaves to mourn with fond and loving memories: her husband Joseph of 58 years; her children: Rose (Stan) Willette, Darren, Rod (Angela), Glenn (Patty), Beverly (Stephan) English, and Randall; her grandchildren: Ashlee, Michael, Joseph, Jacob, Amber, Alyssa, Matthew, Brandon, Chris, and Niki; and her great-grandchildren Brayden, and Nicolas. She also leaves: her brothers: Peter (Florine), Ralph (Bernice), and Johnny (Sherry); her sisters: Sarah, Karen, Delaine (Roger), Patsy (Lou); and sister-in-law Patsy LeRoy; along with many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
She was predeceased by: her parents: Duncan and Phyllis Benoit; her brothers: Terry, Clayton, and Stephen; and her sisters: Linda, Glenda, and Annabelle.
In keeping with mom’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
Thank you to Dr. Lewis and Dr. Powell for all their support. A special thank you to all the nurses on the Medicine ward at Sir Thomas Roddick Hospital. Their care, compassion, and support that was given to our mom was amazing, especially in challenging circumstances due to Covid-19.
As an expression of sympathy, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or Sir Thomas Roddick Hospital Foundation (142 Minnesota Drive, A2N 2V6) would be greatly appreciated.
Our Mother
You can have only one mother
Patient, kind and true;
No other friend in all the world,
Will be the same to you.
When other friends forsake you,
To mother you will return.
For all her loving kindness,
She asks nothing in return.
As we look upon her picture,
Sweet memories we recall,
Of a face so full of sunshine,
And a smile for one and all.
Please Lord, take this message,
To our dear mother up above,
Tell her how we miss her,
And give her all our love.
Grant, O Lord, that my own heart may be touched, as yours is, at the passing of all souls into eternal life.
In great confidence, I pray for all my friends and loved ones who are no longer here on this journey of faith.
When I am sad at the death of those who were close to me, may my sadness be firmly supported by my faith that life is merely changed not ended, that those I love you are still with me through unseen.
May you, Lord Jesus Christ, welcome me and all those for whom I pray, into eternal life at the moment pleasing to You.
Made specially for: The LeRoy Family
