FOUGERE, Esther Marie - 49, 152 Balsam Circle, Lower Sackville, formerly
of Louisdale, Cape Breton Co., passed away peacefully in the VG Site,
QEII, February 26, 2000, surrounded with the love of family and friends.
At 18, she began a short career with Maritime Tel & Tel and then went
on to become a full-time mother to her son and caregiver to many other
precious little children over the last 23 years. As a wife, she shared a
deep quality of love and dignity, a gentle heart and true devotion. As a
mother, she loved her son with the utmost love and care of which her soul
was capable. As a friend, she was an "Earth Angel", always there to listen
and encourage, standing by to help you grow, providing love, strength and
support. As a sister, she was the youngest, with a keen sense of intelligence
and strong sense of family respect bringing with her much love, hope, joy
and affection to their relationship. She was never an "in-law", but another
"daughter" and another "sister". As Essie, she was loved and cherished not
only by the children, but by the parents as well. Esther will be lovingly
remembered for her child-like love and affection, her true compassion and
kindness to others and to many, "a spark of light in someone's dark night".
Her kindred spirit, her strength and selfless love left us in awe, leaving
us
to feel blessed for having known her. Although your parting has saddened
us, we share in your happy reunion with Mama and Papa and your brothers.
May the Angels surround you all, and thank-you Esther, for having enriched
our lives, for cherished memories and for making a difference. She is survived
by her husband, Lawrence; son, Shannon; brothers, Henry, Halifax; Narcisse,
Louisdale; sisters, Loretta Marchand, Halifax; Lucy Martel, Arichat; Doris
Marchand, Louisdale; Evelyn Conrad, Halifax. She was predeceased by her

This obituary was in today's Halifax Herald for Adeline, wife of my
uncle, Wilfred Anthony 'Ginger' Fougère. I have several
photos of Adeline on Mary and Henry Fougère's River Bourgeois
website: http://www.angelfire.com/folk/henrymaryfolks/
Adeline was a lovely lady. After raising their many children,
she and Uncle Ginger moved from Halifax to River Bourgeois where Ginger
spent his final years. Following that time, Adeline returned to
Halifax and she maintained a very active lifestyle, including travel adventures.
She had a very short time of known illness -- just a few weeks.
If anyone has the family line of Pacian and Angeline (Bouchard)
Burke, parents of Adeline, I would appreciate hearing from you.

FORGERON, Donald Anthony - 64, Musquodoboit Harbour (formerly of Halifax).
It is with sorrow and heavy hearts that we share with you the passing of
Donald after a courageous battle with leukemia. He was surrounded by his
loving family and peacefully left this world and walked home holding God's
hand. He was a devoted husband, loving father, and a loving Papa to his
grandchildren. Donald was born in Halifax on March 2, 1942, a son of Anthony
"Tony" Forgeron and Mary Irene Forgeron. The most important thing in
Donald's life was his love and devotion to his family. He had a distinct
smile and twinkle in his eye which was evident to all who met him and it is
humbling to see all the lives that Donald touched in so many ways. Donald
was predeceased by his brother, Joseph "Sonny", who is with his beloved
brother once again. Donald is survived by his soul mate and faithful wife of
43 years, Carol Ann (Laphen); his beloved daughters, Shannon (Howie)
English, Renee (Hans) Webber. He was the cherished Papa to grandchildren,
Haley, Anthony, Shane and Foster; dear brother to Shirley (Vern) Trottier
and Robert (Kay); much-loved uncle to Stephanie, Jeff, Michelle, Andrea,
Jayme and Roxanna. Donald was a "jack-of-all-trades" and could put his hand
to anything from cooking to woodworking. He started working for Nova Scotia
Power in 1961. He worked as a meter reader until 1970 then as a meter
installer to his retirement in 1993. Donald was an avid outdoorsman who
enjoyed hunting, fishing and spending time at his "Camp" in Goshen,
Guysborough Co. There are countless family members and friends who shared
many special and happy memories of times spent outdoors with him. Donald was
also an animal lover who loved and enjoyed the company of many faithful
canine companions. As a family we spent many happy times at the Cottage in
East Petpeswick, family vacations in West Arichat (Cape Breton) and of
course Sunday supper with "Big Don's" cooking. His great strength, faith and
spirit never faltered through his seven month fight with leukemia and he
never lost hope. He was so thankful to the nurses and doctors who looked
after him in Palliative Care at Twin Oaks Memorial Hospital. Donnie and
Carol Ann spent their retirement years together at their oceanfront home and
enjoyed many happy times there with family and friends. Cremation has taken
place and visitation will be in Atlantic Funeral Home, Bayers Road, Halifax,
from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Wednesday, November 29. Mass of Christian Burial will
be in Blessed Mother Theresa Parish (formerly St. Stephen's) 6290 Normandy
Dr., on Thursday, November 30 at 10 a.m. Reception to follow in the church
hall. Family flowers only. Donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer
Society Leukemia Research in Donald's memory or to Twin Oaks Memorial
