Claudette M. Marchand

Claudette M. Marchand, 77, of Dartmouth, a cherished matriarch of her family, passed away on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, in Somerset, Massachusetts.  She was a resident of Somerset for many years.

Claudette was the daughter of the late Eudore and Yvette (Chabot) Levesque.

A graduate of Somerset High School, class of 1964, Claudette entered the workforce with vigor and grace, eventually serving as an office manager at Trina and later at Lightolear. 

In her personal life, Claudette's heart resonated with the melodies of country music, especially enjoying Garth Brooks. Together with her devoted husband, Donald , to whom she was married for an enduring 58 years, she found joy in attending concerts that celebrated this cherished genre. Their shared love for adventure extended to the thrill of casinos, where laughter and companionship filled their evenings.

Claudette was a woman of multifaceted interests; she enjoyed the mental challenge of crossword puzzles, often engaging in this pastime as a relaxing escape from daily life. Her spirit was one of warmth and enthusiasm, lighting up the lives of those fortunate enough to know her.

She leaves a loving family: her husband, Donald; her daughters, Celeste Thibeault (her husband Normand) and their children Ryan Thibeault (wife Ashley) and Nichole Fowler (husband Mike Riggilo) , and daughter Tracy Rousseau (her husband Leo) and their children Justin Araujo (fiancee Tori Rovito) and Krystal Arajuo; and a son, Wayne Marchand. She also leaves her greatgrandchildren Kylie and Noah Fowler.

Her visitation will be held Sunday, November 17 from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

There will be a funeral service during the visitation at 2:30 PM.
