It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Leigh-Anne McDougall, 59, of Shediac N.B., on April 1, 2024, at the Moncton City Hospital.
Leigh-Anne was born September 3, 1964, at the Victoria General Hospital in Fredericton, N.B. to George and Frances (Doherty) McDougall.
Leigh-Anne graduated from Fredericton High School in 1982 and worked many years as a Human Resources Officer at Marriot. She had many roles at Marriot, but her favorites were the fundraising events that she planned and participated in, such as the Pro Golf Fundraiser. She also canvased for the Heart and Stroke Foundation and the Canadian Cancer Society.
Leigh-Anne was strong, resilient, hardworking, and thoughtful, always reaching out with a helping hand when needed. She could bounce back from any situation like no other. She loved scrapbooking, a night out at the movie theaters, computers, and shopping. Her biggest passion was traveling which took her to many places including Switzerland Scotland, England and her favorite, Ireland, which was a part of her "Doherty" heritage and held a special place in her heart. She was a funny, kind, and loving soul who will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
Leigh-Anne is survived by her sister, Shona Pittman (Colin), St. Albans NFLD; Dixie Firlotte (Kirk) Minto N.B; Nephew Zachary Firlotte (Margaret), Halifax NS; Niece Alyssa Peters (Evan), Quispamsis N.B; Great Nieces Hayden and Sloan Peters; Great Nephew George Firlotte; several aunts, uncles, and cousins. She will be fondly missed by her good friend Debbie Conway, and her children Courtney and Curtis.
Leigh-Anne was predeceased by her parents George and Frances (Doherty) McDougall of Fredericton, NB; maternal grandparents John and Madeline (Arnold) Doherty, Fredericton, NB; Fraternal grandparents Frederick and Elizabeth (Cabel) McDougall, Chatham N.B; and her fur babies that she loved with all her heart, Sancho, Chico, Tango, and Patch.
