Janet Mary Blanchard
1937-2022
The passing of Janet Mary (Godin) Blanchard, wife of the late
Arsene Joseph Blanchard formerly of Blacks Harbour NB, occurred at the
Fundy Nursing Home, Blacks Harbour NB on May 10, 2022. Born in
Rivière-à-la-Truite NB on July 14, 1937, she was
a daughter of the late Joseph and Marie (Gauvin) Godin. A loving
mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister, Janet is survived
by two sons: Joseph Blanchard (Denise) of Blacks Harbour NB and Johnny
Blanchard (Julie) of Saint John NB; three daughters: Elizabeth
Blanchard, Mary Scott (Jimmy) and Claudette McGarrigle (Billy) all of
Blacks Harbour NB; 13 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; two
brothers: Louis Godin (Anne) of St. Stephen NB and Medrick Godin
(Irma) of Harvey Station NB; and by several nieces, nephews and
cousins. In addition to her parents and husband, Janet was predeceased
by two children in infancy: Gerard and Gerald; and by one sister:
Pauline Blanchard.
Prior to retirement, Janet worked for Connors Brothers in
Blacks Harbour for many years. In her free time Janet loved playing
cards, especially Queen of Spades. She enjoyed baking and when able
loved to be in the company of her grandchildren who meant the world to
her. Janet loved music and could often be found sitting at her kitchen
table listening to the classics like Johnny Cash and old gospel music.
She loved catching up with her family on the phone and had no problem
talking to her sister-in-law Irma for hours on end. She worked hard to
raise her family and her love and devotion will be greatly missed by
all who knew her.
The family would like to thank the staff at the Fundy Nursing
Home for their care and compassion shown towards Janet over the last
few years. Your hard work and dedication does not go
unnoticed.
