DAIGLE, Dora Mary

Age 87 years, of Dartmouth, passed away peacefully on May 2, 2022, in the Victoria General Hospital. With sorrow filled hearts and with many loving memories, we share the sad news of the passing of our mother. Born on Jan 5, 1935, in Acadieville, New Brunswick. She was the daughter of the late Desire and Elodia (Arsenault). She was predeceased by her husband, Alfred. Her sisters, Marie, Amanda Yvonne; brothers Arthur, Eduard, Ovila, Leo and baby brother, Edonia. Dora was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Family always came first. Her kindness and love for people gained her many close friends. She enjoyed many hobbies over the years, loved music and dancing, bowling, doing puzzles, teaching her grandchildren how to knit, and cook, birdwatching, going to the ocean, and pilgrimages to the shrine of Sainte Anne De Beaupre, with her family and friends. Her faith in God was unshakable and she passed that trait along to her children. She loved going for road trips and having new adventures and gained the nickname of Dora the Explorer. She is survived by her children and their families, Thomas (Sherri), Rosemarie, Shirley, Michael (Sandra), Dennis; brothers, Albert (Dorothy) of Moncton, Don (Alice) of Rogersville, and sister Geraldine (King) of Moncton.
