WATERVILLE – Thamera V. Federico, 83, of Waterville, passed away peacefully on Feb. 12, 2026, joining her beloved husband Roy Federico and leaving behind a legacy of love and laughter.
She enjoyed spending time with her family and cherished lunches on the coast with her sister, Cindy. She also enjoyed her life and ventures in Florida with her husband Roy, sister Deborah and brother-in-law Chester.

She will be remembered for her loving heart and her lively spirit. Her memory will live on in the stories shared, the laughter remembered, and the love she gave so freely.
