Obituary of Donald Joseph Legere

It is with great sadness that Donald’s family announces his passing on Wednesday, January 21, 2015 at the Twin Birch Lodge in Shemogue, N.B. Born in Amherst, N.S. on August 30, 1935, Donald was the son of the late Emma (Richards) and Napolean Legere. Donald worked in the oil business for most of his life, once owning a garage in Fort Lawrence, N.S. His last place of employment was with Eddy Group in Amherst, N.S. Donald will be greatly missed by his children, Bonny (Terry) LeBlanc, Larry (Georgina) Legere, Wendy (Hubert) Forrest and Mark (Kathy) Legere; brother, Bill Legere; two sisters, Rita Blair and Helen (Frank) Caleja; fourteen grandchildren, Chad, Trevor, Larry, James, Donnie, Gary, Charlie, Melissa, Joey, Megan, Stacey, Shawn and Heather; twenty great-grandchildren; one great-great grandchild as well as by many nieces and nephews. Besides his parents, Donald was pre-deceased by his son, Donald Jr. (Sherry) Legere; wife, Rose Marie (McLellan) and by two sisters, Irene and Ona. Arrangements have been entrusted to Campbell’s Funeral Home, 89 Bridge Street, Sackville, N.B. (364-8188). In keeping with Donald’s wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no visiting hours or funeral service. A graveside service will take place in the spring at the Amherst Cemetery with a date to be announced. All will be invited to attend. Donations in memory of Donald may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or to a charity of one’s choice. The family would like to extend a very special thank-you to Carol and Tina at the Twin Birch Lodge for the wonderful care given to our father.
