Obituary for Cécile Hélène (Vallée) Patoine
Cécile H. (Vallée) Patoine, 84 of St. Johnsbury, VT passed away on September 26, 2022, at her home with her family by her side. Cécile was born in East Angus, Québec, Canada on September 20, 1938. She was the eighth of 14 children born to Viateur and Anna (Laramée) Vallée.
Cecile married Bernard Patoine on February 13, 1960, in East Angus, Québec and shared 62 beautiful years together until the recent loss of Bernard 13 days ago on September 13th. Her family grieves her loss, but they take comfort in knowing that they are both together again.
Cécile was a proud mother of 5 children, which she cherished very much, and she was the star in every one of her children’s eyes. She loved her children, grand-children, and great grandchildren. She ensured that all her children were happy, healthy, and safe. Cécile was a homemaker, and she took great care of her family by providing and cooking meals; she loved baking, making pies and did canning using what was harvested from the garden or what was in season.
She loved playing bingo and made many friends. She loved having company and her siblings visited often, loved to go on rides with family on Vermont backroads, picnicking and taking walks. Cécile had a sense of humor, loved to laugh, having fun, dancing and she loved playing card games. She appreciated taking care of the elderly in need. Cécile enjoyed going to yard sales and finding a bargain. She loved her back porch overlooking the water and loved to watch the ducks and wildlife.
Those surviving include her five children: twins Daniel of St. Johnsbury and Samuel and partner, Mark Rothbart, of St. Johnsbury, Alice Delosa and husband, Richard, of St. Albans with their son Kory Delosa and wife Nicole and children Evelyn and Giovanni, Louise Duncan of Rolla, MO with her daughter Ava Holsclaw and children Anika and Kamarie and her son Eric Chu and partner Kimberly Westgate and children Payton and Kierra, Wendy Bacon and husband, Brad, of St. Johnsbury with sons Jason Reed, and Isaac and Shane Bacon; her siblings: Léa and husband Jean-Paul Laflamme, Noella and husband Yvon Valleé, Jeanne d’Arc and husband Aimé Berger, Omer and wife Diane, Claude and husband Nicholas Semeniuk.
