Born October 31, 1922, in Bathurst, Lorraine LeBlanc was the daughter of the late Philippe and Lucie
(Hébert) LeBlanc. A retired nurse and hairdresser, she was a selfless, energetic and hard worker, with a fiery personality. Her numerous friends would also say she loved to laugh and had a “joie de vivre”.
She enjoyed travelling all over the world. A smart and well-read person, she believed in the importance of education. Her father was an Acadian leader who saw great things for the Acadian population.
