Our Mom passed away at age 93 on Friday, October 27th, 2023, at the Moncton Albert House Hospice formerly of Moncton Residence & Dieppe.
Born in Lakeburn, she was the daughter of the late Francois Leblanc and Marie LeBlanc (Landry).
Dolores was a Mom above all and always enjoyed having her family by her side. Her house was always kept methodically clean and her meals were done with Love. We were spoiled with her delicious cooking and desserts. She was very affectionate and made you feel special. She will be greatly missed. Mom placed her religious values and her family life above all things.
She is survived by her sons: John of Winnipeg, Luc (Anne) of Dieppe; and her daughter, Anne-Marie (Fernand) Leblanc of Moncton; three sisters: Bertha (late Eric) Leblanc, Pauline (late Francis) Belliveau, Yolande (Donald) Melanson; and one brother, Alfred (Jeannine) Leblanc; her 4 grandchildren: Alex Leblanc, Jenny Leblanc, Natalie Melanson, and Caroline Melanson; 4 great grandchildren: Annabelle, Geneviève, Adyn, and Quinn; as well as several nieces and nephews.
She is predeceased by her husband, Alfred Melanson (2015); her son, Guy Melanson (2021); her brother, Gérard Leblanc; four sisters: Hectorine Gautreau, Viola Noel, Aline Bourque, and Flora Bastarache.
Dolores truly enjoyed her time living at the Residence Moncton, it was her home for almost 9 yrs. The family want to express our sincere thank you to the wonderful staff, friends, and other residents, who was her extended family and made her feel special. Thank you to the staff, nurses, and doctors at the Moncton Hospital, who took excellent care of her. Thank you also to the staff, nurses, cooks and volunteers at the Moncton Albert House Hospice who treated our mom with dignity and compassion.

Jean, Anne-Marie, Luc et famille,
Veuillez accepter mes plus profondes tristesses et sympathies en ce moment difficile. J’ai de bon souvenirs de notre chère voisine Dolores.
Nos plus sincères condoléances à la famille Melanson. Nous n’avons pas connu votre maman, grand maman Dolorès mais nous avons souvent entendu parler d’elle par son fils John. Elle était tant aimé. Nos chaleureuses pensées vous accompagnent dans cette épreuve. Nous voulons de Winnipeg t’exprimer John un message de sympathies des plus sincères à toi, ta famille et amis. On se revoit bientôt!
Bonjour Luc, nos sincères sympathies à toute la famille Melanson. Bien qu’on est de nouveaux amis, j’ai vitement apprécié chez toi le dévouement que tu démontrais pour le bien-être de ta mère. Avoir eu la chance de la connaître elle m’aurait sûrement dit combien elle était fière de toi.
Bon courage.
Nos sincères sympathies à Luc et famille
