AUGUSTA – Theresa R. Laliberte, 95, passed away December 12, 2023 at Mount Joseph at Waterville. She was born in Augusta on September 10, 1928, a daughter of Ida (Carrigan) and Rene Pomerleau Sr.
Theresa grew up in Augusta and attended St. Augustine School. One week after her 18th birthday, September 16, 1946, Theresa married her true love, Robert H. Laliberte. They were married for 72 years before his passing in 2019. Theresa and Robert had one daughter, Debra, and the family made their home on Westwood Road in Augusta. Theresa was the epitome of a good wife and mother; she doted on her family and took great pride in her home.
In her younger days, Theresa enjoyed shopping, especially when alongside her daughter. Theresa was a “fashionista”, she loved her clothes, her jewelry and ensuring everything matched. Even after suffering a stroke and transitioning to the nursing home, you would find Theresa in a coordinated outfit!
Theresa was predeceased by both of her parents, her husband and daughter, as well as her brothers, Rene Pomerleau Jr, and Daniel Pomerleau.
She is survived by her sister, Barbara Shepard and her husband, Kip; brothers in law, Al Longstaff, Roger Laliberte and his husband Erroll Adams, and Lawrence “Tarz” Laliberte and his wife, Tonia; sister in law, Rose Laliberte (husband Rene deceased); a special niece, Pamela Johnson, along with many other nieces and nephews.
The family would like to thank her wonderful neighbors who provided daily meals and companionship, enabling Theresa to live in her cherished home as long as possible, as well as the team from Kennebec Geriatrics Palliative Care—she treasured your visits. We also thank the staff from Mt. Joseph for the love and care provided during Theresa’s residency and a special thank you to Beacon Hospice Care for your support at a difficult time.
A brief period of visitation will be held on Friday, December 29th from 11-11:30 at Plummer Funeral Home, 16 Pleasant St., Augusta, ME 04330 where a memorial service will begin at 11:30. Burial will take place in the spring at Holy Family Cemetery in Augusta. Condolences, stories, or photos may be shared by visiting www.plummerfh.com.
