Patricia "Patsy" Sabourin (nee LeBlanc)

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Patricia “Patsy” Sabourin (nee LeBlanc) on August 28, 2025. Patsy is survived by her beloved husband Gerald, who was the love of her life, and her much-adored children Darlene (Bruce) and Michael.

Born in 1945 in Atholville, New Brunswick, Patsy’s family moved to Marathon, Ontario, and finally settled in Thurso, Quebec in 1958. As a teenager, she met Gerald, and in 1964, Gerald married “the love of his life, Patsy”, their family would soon follow. She graduated from Willis Business College - Secretarial School, though ultimately decided to devote her time to her family.

Patsy always made a point to get to the gym to do her aqua fit class and would never say no to an ice cream cone or a soak in the hot tub. Throughout her life, music brought her much joy – her favourites were rock and roll, country, bluegrass, and gospel music. She and Gerald were also quite the jive dancers and took to the dance floor whenever they had occasion to do so.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County (www.dementiahelp.ca) or The Ottawa Hospital Foundation (www.ohfoundation.ca)
