It is with extremely
heavy hearts that we must announce the passing of our beloved Mother,
Shirley Donovan, 82, on Tuesday April 16th, 2024. Born in Albert Co.,
NB, she was the daughter of the late Raymond and Yvonne (Douthwright)
Colburn.
Shirley is survived by
her most loved aunt Josie Vickers (Bob), sister Carol
“Poodles” (Leo Crouteau), two sons: Michael LeBlanc (Tosh)
and Stephen LeBlanc (Joanne) and a daughter, Madeleine
‘Lynn” LeBlanc; seven grandchildren: Matthew LeBlanc
(Carrie), Jessica LeBlanc, Jillian Chabros, Jaclyn LeBlanc, Michelle
Numann, Kim Numann, and Jacob Griffin; six great-grandchildren: Zoey,
Kempton, Aria, Madeleine, Coralee, and Addison, along with countless
nephews and nieces who she loved like her own. She also leaves behind
her close friends: Nancy Chessie, Irene Caissie and Toni
Rideout. Shirley had as much family through love as she did
through blood. She was called “Mom” by
many.
Shirley was
predeceased by her brothers: Robert “Bobby” Colburn and
Brian Colburn; sisters: Loretta “Pat” Comfort and Marie
Smith.
Shirley loved bowling
and won many tournaments and was most proud of a “401”.
Another of Shirley’s favorite activities was darts in which she was
also very accomplished. Recently, she could be found watching her
favorite team, the Blue Jays or reading a new book, passed on to her
by her daughter-in-law Tosh. Shirley also enjoyed spending time at the
Shediac Legion Branch # 33 and supporting legion
events.
Although Shirley and
her late husband and father of their children, Richard LeBlanc had
been divorced for many years, they remained dear friends, playing crib
and looking out each other.
She lived her life to
the fullest and on her own terms until she became an angel in the
shape of our mom.
A Celebration of Life
will be held at the Shediac Legion Branch # 33, Saturday, April
20th from 2 pm till 5
pm.
Cremation and funeral
arrangements are under the direction of Frenette Funeral and Cremation
Centre, Shediac (506 532-3297).
