Janice Nadeau Obituary

LEBANON, Maine ; Janice L. (Green) Nadeau, 72, of Lebanon, Maine, passed peacefully away, after a brief illness, on Nov. 13, 2008, at Frisbie Memorial Hospital, surrounded by her loving husband, children, grandchildren and God.

Janice was born in Lewiston, Maine, on Oct. 14, 1936. She was the daughter of the late Leonard and Eva (Trembly) Green.

She moved to Berwick at the age of 3, where she attended local schools and graduated from Berwick High School, Class of 1954. Janice attended McIntosh College and went on to work for the Internal Revenue Service.

In 1958, she married Paul A. Nadeau of Somersworth, N.H. In 1965, they purchased a family farm in Lebanon, where she immediately purchased two horses that she was particularly fond of ; the horses lived well into their 40s. She was a homemaker who loved animals and a strong advocate of the environment. She loved to paint, she loved the ocean, and she enjoyed life.

Janice worked for many years as a ballot clerk for the Town of Lebanon. She was a communicant of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Rochester.

She was predeceased by her parents.

Janice is survived by her loving husband of 50 years, Paul A Nadeau Sr. of Lebanon; her two sons, Paul A. Nadeau Jr. of Lebanon and Leonard B. Nadeau Sr., and his wife, Tina, of Rochester, N.H.; her one daughter, Elaine M. (Nadeau) Hartford and her husband, Kevin, of Lebanon; four grandsons, David Couture of Manchester, N.H., Leonard Jr., Randy and Dennis Nadeau, all of Rochester, N.H.; one granddaughter, Theresa Hartford of Lebanon, and two great-granddaughters, Sadie May and Laney Janice-Rae Nadeau, both of Rochester, N.H.

Visiting hours for immediate family will be held Sunday, Nov. 16 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Roberge Funeral Home, 298 High St., Somersworth, N.H. A Mass will be said on Monday, Nov. 17 at 10 a.m. at St. Mary's Church, 71 Lowell St., Rochester, N.H. At a later date, she will be buried in a private cemetery on the family farm in Lebanon.

To the Nadeau Family,
I have known Janice for many years - from one of my first jobs in a Dr's office in 1981, to one of my last jobs, as parish secretary at St Mary Church in 2004. And over those many years in between, I have always known Janice to be one of the sweetest, kindest and gentlest people in the world. It makes me sad to know that I won't run into her in the grocery store or even speak to her on occasion, but I am thrilled to know that she will be at peace and happy in heaven with Our Lord.
At the end of every conversation, Janice would always sweetly say a soft 'by-bye' ~ no one ever said it like she did! I will miss that most of all. God bless you, Janice. You have touched my life in a sweet and special way, and I was blessed to have known you. I will surely never forget you.

My sympathy to Mr Nadeau and family members. Your loss is indeed great.

Sincerely,
Donna Landolfi
