Obituary for Cecile A. Rocheleau
CECILE A. ROCHELEAU, 101, formerly of Wabasso Street, Lanesborough,died Wednesday afternoon at Providence Care Center of Lenox where she had resided since April.
Born in Bourge, Ontario, Canada, June 28, 1905, she was the daughter of
Moses and Meriza Rouleau Hogue, she was educated in Canadian schools. She had been employed as a seamstress in New York City for 22 years retiring
in the l960s. She was a communicant of the former Notre Dame Church. She enjoyed sewing.
Her husband, Tancrede Rocheleau, whom she married in 1926, died in 1968. Mrs. Rocheleau is survived by two sons, Guy M. Rocheleau of New York,
New York, and Paul J. Rocheleau of Richmond, Massachusetts; two grandchildren and
two great grandchildren.
FUNERAL NOTICE: Sitting behind a big taped up old 1930s Singer sewing machine, churning out
stitches on the latest amazing sewing project, she, with a twinkle in her eyes, a song on
her lips, and endless compelling stories of her youth in the Canadian countryside,
captured the hearts and respect of all who met her. In the last four years she began to
drift into the confused world, but still had the strength of character to maintain her
charming personality and constantly make new friends. And on the good days she
still could give them a good belly laugh. We all thank Cecile for the wonderful
memories. And we, the family, thank all those who were her friends. Funeral services for CECILE A. ROCHELEAU, who died Wednesday,
November 1, will be private with burial in St. Joseph's Cemetery. There are no calling
hours. In lieu of flowers, contributions in memory of Mrs. Rocheleau may be made to
Berkshire Center for Families and Children, 480 West Street, Pittsfield. The DERY
FUNERAL HOME is in charge of arrangements.
Mrs. Rocheleau is also survived by two daughters-in-law, Elaine Rocheleau and
Pauline Rocheleau, two grandchildren, Joseph G. Rocheleau and his wife, Kimberly,
and Jennifer Rocheleau, and two great grandchildren, Joseph and Audrey. She was pre-
deceased by a brother and two sisters.
