BACCARDAX, Cecilia Anita - River Bourgeois. It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and aunt at home in her daughter Sally's loving care on Thursday, June 22, 2017, at the age of 100. Born in River Bourgeois on December 6, 1916, she was a daughter of the late Marin "Murdoch" Fougere and Sarah Anne (Boudreau) Fougere. As a young woman she was employed in Halifax. It was there that she married her husband of 40 years, Tobie. They returned home to River Bourgeois and Cecilia's original family home with their first two children and their special nephew Earl. Here they raised their family that would grow with the addition of four more children. Cecilia was a devoted mother, grandmother and great grandmother and through all these years she remained strongly rooted and very much attached to her family and her River Bourgeois community. The lives she touched are too many to list. She will be dearly missed by her children, Faye (Roger) Flinn, Port Williams; Don (Jean), Grand Anse; Sally, River Bourgeois; Lorne (Lenette), Hubbards; Peter (Sherry), River Bourgeois and very special nephew, Earl Fougere, Detroit, Michigan. She is also survived by her loving sister, Margaret. She will be greatly missed by her grandchildren, Lisa, Kim, Craig, Jason, Wayland, Warren, Bridget, Alexie, Shelley and Joseph and great grandchildren Matthew, Mitchell, Cora, Andrew, CeeCee, Xavier, Ethan, Jasmine, Landon, Jack, Charlie, Lily and Jonah. She also leaves to mourn nieces and nephews and the extended family on her husband’s side. Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her beloved husband, Tobie and daughter, Joan; sisters, Sadie, Rita, Mary Helen and brothers, Abraham "Abram", Amable "Mabie", William "Billie", Charlie, John and Herman. Special thanks to Dr. Pluta for the attentive care that he provided Cecilia over all these years. We will forever be grateful for our time with her and she will always hold a special place in our hearts.
