It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Theresa Ann Benoit, age 91 of Pomquet, Antigonish County. She was a loving wife to Alex, a devoted mother, grandmother, and great grandmother.

At the time of her peaceful death in St. Martha’s Regional Hospital, Theresa was surrounded by her loving husband and family.

Born in Pomquet, she was the daughter of the late Joseph and Ida Benoit.

Theresa’s faith and her church were an important part of her life. She prayed many novenas for others and said her rosary daily. After raising 10 children, Theresa, or Grandmère as we all knew her, went to work at Morrison Hall and Bloomfield Centre at St. Francis Xavier University and was a mother to many students.

She always welcomed people into her home and at a moments notice was able to offer a home-cooked meal. Her baking, especially her squares, were greatly appreciated by the grandchildren and great grandchildren.

She is survived by her husband of 72 years, Alex, and her children Yvonne (Eddie) MacNeil, Guelph, Ontario; James (Margie) Benoit, Lower South River; Edmund (Maria) Benoit, MacLellan’s Brook; Elaine (Robert) Delorey, Lower South River; Robert (Rochelle) Benoit, Pomquet; Charles (Rosemarie) Benoit, James River; Gerard (Darlene) Benoit, New Glasgow; Janette Randall (Brian Munroe), GlenAir Estates; Jacqueline (Kevin) Knocton; Taylors Road; daughter-in-law, Dorothy Benoit; 29 grandchildren, 55 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild. She is also survived by her sisters Margaret Benoit, Boston, Mass, and Josephine Doiron, Pomquet; and brother Arthur Benoit, Penacook, New Hampshire.

She was predeceased by her son Leonard, grandsons James (in infancy) and Michael, son-in-law, Greg Randall, brother Peter; sisters, Ethel Boudreau, Rita McNeff, and Irene Breen.

Visitation will be in C.L Curry Funeral Home 135 College St., Antigonish, on Wednesday, July 19, 2017, from 2-4 and 7-9pm. Funeral Mass will be at Ste. Croix Church, Pomquet on Thursday July 20, 2017 at 10:30am with Reverend Andrew Gillies presiding. Burial in the parish cemetery.

In Memoriam, donations to Antigonish Town & County Palliative Care Society appreciated.
