It is with sadness that the family of Sandra McLauchlan announces her death which occurred on Friday, October 5, 2018 at the Moncton Hospital. 

Born in Bathurst, NB, she was a daughter of the late Norman (Eveline Roy) Chiasson and Dorothy "Doris" Blin who died giving birth.

Sandra’s greatest joy came from time spent with her family. Her heart abounded with love for her children and grandchildren. She always spoke of her children with such pride and admiration, and her eyes would light up with warmth at the sight of her grandchildren. Sandra devoted her life to her family and will be remembered by her loved ones for both her kindness and compassion.

She is survived by her son Marc (Nadia Leblanc) of Cap Pelé, daughter Laura (late James) Middleton of Moncton; grandchildren Mia, Ben, Reid; sisters Bernadette (John) Richard and Claudette (Scott) Poupart both of Bathurst; brothers Donald (Paulette) Chiasson, Judd (Paula) Chiasson, Junior Chiasson, David (Armella) Chiasson, Michel Chiasson, Maurice (Therese Levesque) Chiasson, Jean Claude (Caroline Henry) Chiasson all of Bathurst; as well as several nieces and nephews.

Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, David McLauchlan.
