Freda Marion LaPlante, 73, wife of the late Robert Joseph LaPlante passed away Saturday March 14, 2015, surrounded by her family after a courageous battle with cancer. Born on April 29, 1941 in New Castle N.B. she was the daughter of the late Honorine Dalton and Frederic Robinson.

Freda lived her dream of travelling around North America, with her soul mate, upon their retirement. Freda was a chef by trade and enjoyed doing crafts and cooking for friends and companions that she met during her travels through Canada, the USA and Mexico. After returning to Miramichi she continued to practice her love of cooking at the Miramichi Agriculture Exhibition Association where she was employed as a banquet chef until the time of her death.
As per her final wishes there will be no funeral service. Her ashes will be placed with her husbands during a ceremony at a later date in the spring.
The family would like to thank the Oncology and Palliative care units of the Moncton and Miramichi Hospitals for their care, kindness and support to our mother and ourselves during this time. Thanks to all our friends who visited mom during her final days your support is appreciated. Words cannot express our gratitude to Heather Jagoe who spent countless hours sitting with our Mother in her final days. Your kindness will never be forgotten.
