Huntington & Troy - On Tuesday, June 14th, Diane Annett (Audet) Roberts, 65, passed away at University of Vermont Medical Center accompanied by her husband, daughter, and granddaughter after a difficult battle with ovarian cancer. She was loved and supported by friends and family.
Diane was born on June 28, 1956, in North Troy, the daughter of Maurice and Claire Audet. Raised on a dairy farm in Westfield, she helped on the farm to support her family. She worked at Newport Plastic for 6 years after she graduated from North Country Union High School. Diane enjoyed going to the dancehall in Lowell where she fell in love with Andre Roberts. They would later marry on July 5th, 1980.
Diane accompanied Andre to pursue his career with a move to Huntington, VT. There she began a job at Bouya Facets, where she worked for 6 years along with raising their two children. Diane stayed in Huntington for 36 years until her parents' health declined; she then decided to make the move back to Troy to be closer to her family. After Diane and Andre built their home together, she began her job at Jay Peak where she would work for the next 10 years.
While Diane moved back to Troy she rediscovered her love for bingo, she would attend weekly and always had high hopes. She also enjoyed going to the slot machines. She loved traveling and took many trips with her family. Diane loved being with her family and loved spending time with her grandchildren. She loved getting to watch her children and grandchildren grow up.
During her battle with cancer, Diane always had a great attitude and high hopes. She was a strong woman and a hard worker. Her strength was unmatched and no matter how bad of news she received, she kept her spirits high for herself and those around her. She will always be loved and missed by many all around her.
Diane is survived by her beloved husband of 43 years, Andre Roberts; her son Patrick Roberts of Montgomery; her daughter Jessica Roberts of Irasburg; her granddaughter Kayona Denton of Troy; her grandson Aiden Roberts of Troy; her brother Roger Audet and his wife, Rita Audet, of Basco, Florida; her sister Carmen Bouchard and her husband Jacques Bouchard, of Troy; her brother Rejean Audet and his wife, Rebecca Audet, of New Castle, New Hampshire; and her several nieces and nephews.
