loving family. She was born on August 22, 1937, in Stockholm, Maine to Percy and Evelyn (Levesque)

Soucie.

Raised in Millinocket, Marylene was a 1956 graduate of St Martin of Tours Catholic School. Following

graduation, she worked for New England Telephone Company in Portland then returned to Millinocket

Millinocket where she was a member of the church choir as well as the folk group. While residing in

Vassalboro she attended St Andrews Catholic Church in Augusta where she taught CCD and Vacation

Bible School.

A remarkable cook, Marylene enjoyed preparing meals for her family and friends, most especially

over the holidays. Notably, she was a kind and caring person always putting others before herself. She

had a special place in her heart for kids, the elderly, and animals. She loved her children and

grandchildren dearly and devoted her life to making each of them feel special, and instilled in them the

importance of having good manners, being kind, considerate, honest, respectful, and humble.

Marylene is lovingly remembered by her sons, Nathan Theriault and significant other, Donna Stevens;

Paul Theriault and wife, Julie; daughters Janet Theriault and friend, Reid Campbell; Joy Bonenfant and
