Timothy Giroux

WINSLOW – Timothy Giroux, 82, of Winslow, Maine, left us peacefully on Jan. 7, 2025, surrounded by family. A beloved husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend to many, he will be remembered for his witty banter, love of life and his warm smile.

Born March 20, 1942, he was the son of the late Daniel and Myrtle Giroux, and brother to seven siblings, Jackie, Paul, Donna, Pat, Dean, Carroll and Judy. Tim attended Waterville schools graduating in 1960.

On Nov. 5, 1960, Tim married his high school sweetheart, Deborah Ann Hoag, with whom he recently celebrated a 64th wedding anniversary.

Tim worked at several area companies before establishing Giroux Upholstery which he operated from 1970 until his retirement.

Tim was passionate about music and was a charter member of the Kennebec Valley Chordsmen Barbershop Chorus where he joyfully sang for the past 51 years. He was also an avid reader and self taught historian. A longtime resident of Vassalboro, Tim served on various town committees and was active with the historical society in addition to being a volunteer fireman. He loved the outdoors, especially being on the lake and was an avid fisherman and hunter.

Tim is survived by his wife Debbie; his children, Marc (Rudy) of Palm Springs, Calif., Shelly (Jessie) of Monhegan Island, Maine, Jeff (Lisa) of Leadville, Colo. He was predeceased by a daughter, Melony. He is grandfather to Carissa, Taylor, Michael and Jeffrey. He was delighted to be great grandfather to seven: Lia, Zoe, Carlos, Timothy, Elijah, Sophia and Cole.

A celebration of Tim’s life will be held Jan. 25 from 1 – 4 p.m. at the St. Bridget Center located at 864 Main St. Vassalboro. There will be a tribute to Tim at 2 p.m. and the family welcomes anyone to share memories. An additional celebration will be held at a later date in Palm Springs where he happily spent the last 14 winters.

In honor of Tim, the family asks that any donations be made in his memory to:
