She was so pretty , and so sweet . Neighbor and a friend! She and Ronnie were our bosses at Sesme and they were always so positive. Even when we spilled something or broke something, they never made us feel bad and we were very happy working there , singing., laughing and having fun.

Aunt Doris had an incredible warmth about her. I loved her the moment I met her.
She and Uncle Ronnie were Godparents to my husband Doug.
I feel honored to have known her, and she will forever be in my heart. ❤

Doris Pelletier Smith (89) formally of Caribou Maine passed away peacefully on February 26, 2026 at Granite VNA Hospice House in Concord, NH.
She was born January 13, 1937 in
St. Francis, Maine to Eddie & Dora (Morin) Pelletier. She was the second youngest of 11 children.
She resided many years in Caribou, and was a graduate of Caribou High School class of 1954. After high school Doris worked as a dental assistant before marrying husband Ron in 1955.
Doris was undeniably a strong supporter and contributor to the success of the Sesme car hop which she and husband Ron owned and managed from 1956-1975.
In the mid 1980’s Doris owned and operated a small children’s day care in her home, and was loved by the children and their families.
She enjoyed luncheons with friends, planting flowers, cooking, reading, and painting. An avid reader Doris always had her nose in a book. She was an exceptional bridge club player who often filled in as substitute when a player was needed.
Over the years, the time spent with her grandchildren brought her much joy. She will be sadly missed by her family.
Doris will be remembered for always having a smile on her face and a genuine positive spirit.
She is survived by her son Derek Smith of Washburn, Maine,
daughter Nicole (Smith) Wilke, and husband Chris Wilke of Bow, NH.
Grandchildren Zak Smith, Emma, Luke, and Claire Wilke, and great grandson Karson Reidy.
Her sisters: Nadine, Joan, Yvonne, and many nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her mother & father, her brothers Addis, Oscar, Valdore, Paul, and Bobby; her sisters Martha and Jackie, granddaughter Karli Smith, and husband Ron Smith of 70 years.
A special thank you to the Granite State VNA hospice nurses & staff for their exceptional care.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital at www.stjude.org
A family gathering of remembrance and burial will be held in late spring together with husband Ron at Evergreen Cemetery in Caribou, ME.
