Marie Reine Rodrigue

WINSLOW – On Feb. 13, 2022 Marie passed away peacefully.Marie grew up in Clair, New Brunswick, Canada, being the daughter of Honore’ and Elizabeth Nadeau. Often she would reminisce about her family working on the farm as a team, so as to survive those days. But as a family they also enjoyed singing, polka dancing, and visiting their maternal grandmother, who loved to play music on her concertina accordion. Marie married Victor Rodrigue on July 4, 1953. They were married at St. John’s in Winslow, Maine. Together they raised 5 children in East Benton, Maine. Marie enjoyed crocheting and sewing on her treadle singer sewing machine. When she gathered with her brothers and sisters, spirited games of charlemagne would ensue. She loved children and was a very loving mother who always wanted the best for her children. And she was known to be a mother for those that needed one. Marie had beautiful blue eyes and a smile that would light up a room. She was beautiful inside and out. As one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, she loved spending time with her spiritual brothers and sisters. Working in the ministry was important to her and she found much joy in that work. Marie will be deeply missed by her family and friends. She’s survived by her sisters Jeanne D’ Arc, Doris Quirion , Rina Morin, and her brother Ronald Nadeau, her 5 children: Francis Rodrigue, Donna Brickett, Dan Rodrigue, James Rodrigue, and Cherry Strohman, 7 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.
