It’s with great sadness the family of Pauline Marie Peters announces her passing on July 11, 2024, at the Saint John Regional Hospital with her children by her side. Born on May 29, 1944, in Saint John, NB, she was a daughter of the late Tom and Theresa LeBlanc.

She is also survived by her sisters Geraldine, Jeannette (Felix), Helen, Bertha (Ron), Mary-Ann (Greg), and Dorilla, as well as several nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.
Pauline was predeceased by her parents, as well as her sisters Louise and Lorraine, and her brothers-in-law Gerry, Doug, Richard, and Adrian.

Pauline will also be deeply missed at her residence, where she was a beloved resident for 27 years. Her neighbours adored her and lovingly called her the "Queen" of the building. She touched many lives with her kindness and charm. She enjoyed playing cards, where she was known for both her skill and her playful competitiveness.

When Pauline was young, she enjoyed her role working at the Canadian Red Cross where she drove 18-wheelers across the provinces of New Brunswick and Ontario. She returned to her roots in Saint John to focus on raising her family as a devoted single mom. Pauline dedicated much of her time volunteering at Holy Trinity Church, working alongside Monsignor Sheehan and Sister Nickerson, Pauline was known for her warm spirit and generous contributions to the church.
