She was born in St. Zacharie, Quebec, Canada, on Jan. 21, 1941, daughter of the late Lionel and Simone (Lapointe) Lachance. She married her sweetheart Lawrence Belanger on July 22, 1961 at Notre Dame Catholic Church in Waterville, Maine. Together, they raised their two daughters, Tina and Lisa.

She was employed at the Hathaway Shirt Company until her retirement in 2003. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and friend who enjoyed spending time with her family and friends as often as possible. She especially enjoyed family gatherings and listening to her husband sing and play the guitar. She was so proud of all her grandchildren and was always happy when they would visit. She liked making crafts and using her iPad to play games.

In addition to her loving husband, she is survived by her beloved children, daughter Tina Faucher, and her two children, Jason Faucher and his wife Bryn, all of Winslow, Amanda Dostie and her husband Ryan of Rome, and daughter Lisa Breton, and her husband, Donald of North Vassalboro, and their two children, Justin and his husband Will, of Brooklyn, NY, and Jessica Breton of Winslow; one great grandson, Corey Faucher and one great granddaughter, Adelaide Dostie; step-great grandsons Brandon and Cody Green; as well as her sisters, Micheline Laraviere, Carole and her husband Bob Getchell and Liliane Davidson, sister-in-law, Theresa Culbertson, and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
