It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that the family of
Helen Ladouceur of Haneytown, NB announce her passing after a brief
illness at Hospice House in Fredericton, NB on the
8th of June, 2022. Born in New Waterford, Cape
Breton on the 15th of August, 1937, she was the
daughter of the late Jean Baptiste and Cesarine (Lalo)
Duprey.
She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 43 years,
John-Luc Ladouceur. She also leaves behind to cherish her memory her
daughter, Virginia Grant (Lenny) of Burton, NB and her sons Angus
George Grant (Angie) of Geary NB, Kenneth John Grant of Halifax, NS,
and Gary Alfred Grant (Theresa) of Nevers Road, NB. She is also
survived by her step children, Normand and Valerie Ladouceur of Quebec
City, QC; brother Charles Patrick Duprey of New Waterford, Cape
Breton; 5 grandchildren Meaghan and Amanda Grant, Randy and Wade
Smith, and Ryan Grant (Karolina); two great grandchildren, Mackenzie
and Alicia; two sisters-in-law, Betty Duprey of New Waterford, Cape
Breton, and Louise Ladouceur (Gilbert), of L’Assomption, QC;
three brothers-in-law, Jean-Marc Ladouceur (Jeanne-Mance), St.
Eustache, QC, Serge Ladouceur (Claudette), St. Barthelemy, QC, and
Alain Ladouceur (Yvette), Val Dor QC, as well as many step
grandchildren, and step great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and
cousins.
In addition to her parents, Helen was predeceased by her
siblings Andrew, Albert, Alfred, and John Duprey.
Helen was a proud Cape Breton’er, although she
lived most of her life in the Oromocto area, where she was greatly
involved in her community for the last 60 years. She loved
to volunteer for many organizations and was known to be a great
organizer. She loved to travel and explore the world, and she was
always up for an adventure.
Helen had a strong faith and she left her blessed, indelible
mark on everyone she met. She approached life with a positive attitude
and a friendly smile. She touched the lives of many around the
community and the country. She was loved, and will be missed by many,
most especially the family of whom she was so proud.
There are no goodbyes for us, Helen, wherever you are, you
will always be in our hearts.
A special thanks to all the medical staff at the Dr. Everett
Chalmers Hospital, Extra Mural, Hospice House Fredericton, and the
Model Town Medical Clinic for all the compassionate care you showed to
Helen during her illness.
