| Obituary | Nov 14, 2022 | OBITUARY: Solange “Sally” Patenaude, 86, passed away peacefully on November 10, 2022, at Michaud Manor in Derby Line, Vermont. Sally was born in Newport on April 11, 1936, to Albert and Juliette Roberge. On June 13, 1955, she married Augustin “Gus” Patenaude who predeceased her on January 13, 2012. After farming for five years in Beebe Plain when they were first married, Gus and Sally purchased the family farm in Holland in 1960 where they farmed together for over fifty years and raised five children. After Gus’s passing in 2012, Sally moved to Derby Line where she quickly became fondly known for her friendly waves and happy greetings from her porch on Main Street. Sally brought that same joy to both the residents and the staff at Michaud Manor where she resided for the last year of her life. “Live, love, and laugh” is a perfect motto for how Sally lived her life. She loved to make people laugh and she was very good at it. Her home was always the favorite gathering place for her family. She prided herself on having been the class clown growing up which is no doubt why she was the vice president of her senior class. Sally often remarked that it was much easier to live seeing the good in things and being grateful rather than “moping around” focused on the negative. A nurse at Michaud Manor shared that they often sat Sally at the table of another resident who was feeling depressed because “Silly Sally” could always make someone smile and feel better. Sally also loved to dance, play cards, and be social while camping and traveling. She had a wonderful, happy spirit that will be missed terribly. Sally was also a very deeply faithful woman. Even when her mind was failing her and she was feeling anxious, she would often say that she would just go to bed, say her prayers and start again the next day. Sally was a long time member of St. Edward’s Catholic Church and served on the Ladies Altar Society for many years. She was always happy to share her homemaking skills with others and had a very giving spirit! Sally is survived by her children: daughter Pauline (Keith) Bracey, Annette Patenaude, Ted (Shirley) Patenaude, and Ron (Jen) Patenaude; daughter-in-law Kathy Patenaude, grandchildren Katrina (Al) Solerno, Kylie (Jeremy) Powell, Kristan Patenaude, Amber (Marv) Lantagne, Tory Ladue, Cody Ladue, Kate Patenaude, Jacob Patenaude, and Molly Patenaude; great grandchildren Jesse (Maria), Jenna, Anna, Balin, Everly, Chad (Gianna), Evan and Hayden; and great great grandchildren Jaxon, Skylynn, Stella, Juliette, Jax, Akilian and Alexiah. Sally is also survived by her sisters Lise (Donald) Fournier and Suzanne Larkin as well as her brother/sister in-laws Judy Roberge, Lorette Touchton, Albert and Berthe Patenaude, Theresa Patenaude, Anna Patenaude, Maurice and Denise Patenaude, John and Sue Patenaude. Sally was predeceased by her husband Gus, son Robert, sister Jeanne (Ted) Markut, brothers Jean-Paul (Lorette), Roger and Richard (Claire) Roberge, brother-in-law Charles Larkin, brother/sister-in-law Alphonse and Yvette Patenaude, and brother-in-law Leo Patenaude. Sally also had many beloved nieces, nephews and close family friends.
