PAULINE H. ROCHELEAUWINOOSKI - Pauline H. Rocheleau, 79, died unexpectedly Friday, Dec. 18 while walking to daily Mass at St. Francis Xavier Church.
Pauline was born May 6, 1930 to August and Helen (Julien) Sourmail and lived her whole life on Maple Street in the house her parents built. Pauline graduated from Cathedral High school, Class of 1949. After raising her family, she worked for IBM in Essex Junction for 18 years, retiring in 1990. Family, faith and walking were her life. Anyone who knew her will remember her beautiful smile, unfailing positive attitude, and boundless energy. Our Mom was totally accepting of everyone and had a particular fondness for children and animals. She valued the time she spent on Thursdays volunteering at Fletcher Allen. The joy and hope she spread were for patients and staff alike!

She is survived by her children: Louise Rocheleau of Burlington, Juliette (Ted) Horton of Westford, Aline (Pat) Leclaire of Charlotte, and Paul (Erica) Rocheleau of Portland, Ore.
