Aurore Gaudet 1926-2006 The Gaudet and Léger families come together in sadness following the passing of their beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Aurore (née Léger) Gaudet, 80, wife of Alyre Gaudet of Trois Ruisseaux passed away peacefully on Wednesday, November 8, 2006 at The Dr. Georges-L. Dumont Hospital, Moncton. Born in Trois-Ruisseaux on September 8th, 1926, Aurore married and raised her family in Scoudouc before returning to retire in her native Cap-Pelé. She was the eldest child of the late Adolphe and Emerise (Fagan) Léger of Trois Ruisseaux. Aurore is survived by her loving husband of 48 years Alyre, one son; Paul (Monique) of Scoudouc; two daughters, Janice Léger (Roland), and Charline LeBlanc (Donald), both of Trois Ruisseaux; and one special grandchild, Venessa. She also leaves in mourning, six sisters; Caroline Halloran (Edward), Jocelyne Gallant (Moril), Marilyn Léger and Rhoda Léger all of Trois Ruisseaux, Rose-Anna Vautour of Cap-Pelé, and Marina Lirette (Gérald McGraw), of Cormier Village; two brothers, Emeric Léger (Jeannine) and Bernard Léger (Janice), both of Trois Ruisseaux; two sisters-in-law, Anna and Jeannette, as well as several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her brothers Paul, Adrice, Connie and Alphie Léger. Profoundly missed and cherished, Aurore will be most fondly remembered not only for her incredible strength, but for the gentleness with which she shared it. Even in her final precious days, her sharp-minded wit, her incessant charm, and her sense of humor were intact. She was giving, caring, and loyal, always placing her family above all else, and never seeking of reward or gratification. She lead by example, with class and dignity. Her compassion was unwavering, her love unconditional. Her devotion was infinite, as was her wisdom. She was a mother to few, but a mentor to many. We thrived in her presence, and we will struggle in her absence. Aurore was a veritable treasure to all who were fortunate enough to have known her. The family will receive condolences on Friday, from 2 to 4p.m. and 7 to 9p.m. and Saturday, from 10a.m. until time of departure at 10:50a.m. at Funérarium Frenette, 2641 Acadia Road, Cap-Pelé (532-3297). Funeral mass will be celebrated at 11a.m. on Saturday, November 11, 2006 at Ste. Thérèse d'Avila Roman Catholic Church in Cap-Pelé. Interment will be held in the parish cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that gestures of respect be made in the form of donations to the Dr. Georges-L. Dumont Hospital Palliative Care Unit. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Frenette Funeral Home Shediac Ltd. www.frenettefuneralhome.com.

Nous avons le pénible devoir d'annoncer la mort de Monsieur Philippe L. Léger, ancien et respectable cultivateur de notre paroisse, arrivée samedi matin, 10 mai. Il a succombé à la maladie qui le minait depuis plusieurs années et qui le tenait cloué sur un lit de douleurs depuis quelques mois, après avoir enduré, avec une résignation que seule la foi peut donner, les plus atroces souffrances, et, fortifié des consolations spirituelles que l'Eglise prodigue aux chrétiens à l'aaproche du trépas, il s'est éteint paisiblement avec une confiance inébranlable en la miséricorde d'un Dieu Sauveur.

Bon époux, bon père, cultivateur laborieux, il avait coulé une vie bien remplie; il avait trouvé dans son noble état d'agriculteur une honnête aisance et tout le bonheur que l'homme peut envier ici-bas. Pratiquant largement la charité chrétienne, c'était toujours de bon coeur qu'il venait en aide aux indigents et aux malheureux et jamais sa langue ne se livre au dénigrement du prochain, défaut si répandu de nos jours. Sa probité proverbiale lui gagnait tous les cours - aussi jouissait-il dans tout le pays de l'amitié la plus franche et du respect le plus ampble de tous ses concitoyens. Le regretté défunt avait épousé Dlle Justine Boudreau, qui lui survit, ainsi que quatre filles, Mme Aimé J. Cormier de Shédiac, Mme Albert Goguen de Cocagne, Mme Adolphe T. LeBlanc, de Richibouctou, et Mlle Sara Léger, et deux fils, MM. Edmond et Auguste Léger, demeurant tous les deux sous le toit partenel sur lequel le regretté défunt avait lui même vu le jour il y a soixante et neuf ans et quelques mois.

Les funérailles ont eu lieu lundi matin à l'église St. Joseph de Shédiac. Un nombre cortège funèbre accompagnait la dépouille mortelle à sa dernière demeure. Le service funèbre fut célébré par M. l'abbé Lapointe, les porteurs étaient MM. John Babineau, John Belliveau, Jude Landry, Frank Doiron, André Chs. Gautreau et Théotime Boudreau. Le Moniteur présente à la famille éplorée l'éxpression de ses plus vives condoléances dans la douloureuse affliction qui vient de la frapper. - Le Moniteur
