"Only goodness and love will pursue me all the days of my life;
I will dwell in the house of the lord for years to come."

Obituary
Leonie Calice Bigord, daughter and third child of the late Pierre Joseph Cherest Calice and Oximene Desruisseau Calice was born January 12, 1930 in Anse a-Veau Haiti. Although Leonie was faced with great illnesses, she remained strong. God called Leonie on July 231, 2014 to reside in his kingdom.
Leonie had a great sense of humor. She was well loved and her friends and family affectionately called her "NiNi". Leonie was a woman of good faith. As a Roman Catholic in her adulthood, she was involved in religious activities. In fact, Leonie met Janel S. Bigord at JOC, a religious prayer group. As their love for each other grew stronger, in December 1960, Janel and Leonie exchanged vows. They migrated to New York in search of a more fulfilling life for themselves and their children.
Leonie Bigord worked as a Seamstress. In addition, she made clothes, for herself and her children and also made curtains and accessories for her home. As a hobby, Leonie enjoyed doing crossword puzzles, word search and spending time with her grandchildren.
Leonie leaves on earth, her son Jean-Luc Bigord, her daughters Marie Gessy Bigord and Dorothy Bigord, her daughter-in- law Berclide Bigord and her three grand children Jude, Miryame and Talitha Bigord. Leonie is survived by her older brother Romane Calice and her younger sister Anne Marie Montimer and a host of nieces and nephews.
