Southbridge - Shirley A. (Mahan) Leduc, 91, passed away peacefully on December 5, 2025, at the Life Care Center in Auburn, MA.  A devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Shirley dedicated her life to her family.  She cherished every moment spent with her grandchildren.  Many of her happiest days were spent enjoying summers down at the Cape, a place she held close to her heart.

Leduc,, died November 18, 2023.  She  is survived by her daughter Cynthia Proulx and her companion, Joe Carrington; her son Christopher Leduc and his companion, Deena Weatherwax; her two granddaughters, Erin Proulx and her companion, Chris Nichols, and Kasey Proulx and her companion, Brandon Labelle.  She also leaves behind her four great-grandchildren: Jordan, Jameson, Kaylynn, and Jionni, who all brought immense joy to her life.  She is predeceased by her brother Robert Mahan, and her grandson Joshua Proulx.
