Marguerite G. LeBlanc

Marguerite G. (Bourque) LeBlanc, age 94, of Lynn, died peacefully at Abbott House Nursing Home on August 15, 2016. She was the beloved wife of the late Owen J. LeBlanc, with whom she shared 69 years of marriage.
Born and educated in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, Marguerite was the daughter of the late Aurèle and Anna (LeBlanc) Bourque. She was the loving and devoted mother of Paul LeBlanc of Lynn, Janice MacDonald and her husband, Brian of Lynn, and Joanne Bingham and her late husband, Ronald, of Wyoming; the cherished grandmother of Meaghan MacDonald of St. Louis, Missouri, and Evan MacDonald of Lakewood, Ohio; the dear sister of the late Claude, Gérard, Roger and Violette Bourque and the late Rita Surette, Maria Melanson, and Carmela Fenety; and the aunt of many nieces and nephews.
Primarily a homemaker, Marguerite worked for several years at Wood Electric in Lynn until her retirement. She enjoyed playing cards, square dancing and wintering in Florida for many years. Most of all she loved spending time with her family and her circle of lifelong friends affectionately referred to as "the gang." She and her late husband Owen, moved to St. Theresa House in Lynn in 2008 where she enjoyed the support and company of friends, staff, and the St. Mary's parish community. Marguerite moved to Abbott House in 2015 where warm and compassionate staff cared for her to the end. There, Marguerite maintained her strong devotion to her Catholic faith, drawing comfort and strength by attending weekly Mass at Holy Family Church until her death.
