Obituary of N. Marie LeBlanc

It is with great sadness that the family of Novella "Marie" LeBlanc of Lincoln NB, announce her passing at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital in the early morning hours of Saturday, May 15, 2021. Marie was born at St. Stephen, Charlotte Co., NB on February 9, 1944, a daughter of the late Victor and Bertha Lillian (Moulton) Hannan. Marie was a strong and vibrant woman of faith and endeared herself to many with her positive and encouraging spirit. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. A loving and devoted mother, Marie is survived by her two children who will miss her presence so very much, daughter, Karylann Palmer (Darryl) and her son Jay Sperry both of Fredericton. She dearly loved her five grandchildren who always made her heart smile, Jamie, Aleisha, Stephanie, Christopher and Angel; her eight great-grandchildren brought so much sunshine in her life, Twila, Mya, Nevaeh, Lydia, Cierra, Kaison, Elara and Asher. Marie will be greatly missed by her four siblings, sister, Madeline Hannan and brothers, Allison, Leonard and Ronald Hannan. Marie is also survived by her son-in-law, Robert MacPherson as well as a number of nieces and nephews. Dear to Marie’s heart were her three very special chosen children, whom she loved very much, Mary, Brenda and Jason Chisholm. In addition to her parents, Marie was predeceased by her first husband, James R.R. Sperry (1985); her second husband, Joseph "Eddie" LeBlanc (2018); a daughter, Kimberly MacPherson and a son Mark Sperry.
