Jennifer Drapeau Obituary
BIDDEFORD - Jennifer M. Drapeau, 31, of Biddeford, passed away Oct. 14, 2017, peacefully at home in the loving care of her family. She was born on Feb. 2, 1986 in Newburgh, N.Y., to Timothy and Sheila McCurry.
She grew up in Biddeford and attended the Biddeford school system, where she made many great friends and memories. She attended the University of Maine and graduated in 2008 with a degree in Elementary Education.
Jennifer married her "bestie for life", Joey Drapeau, on April 22, 2013. Together they have two beautiful little girls, Brynn Josephine and Aria Jenelle.
She was employed as a kindergarten teacher at the Jameson Elementary School in Old Orchard Beach. She referred to this as her dream job and touched the lives of many students. She truly loved working with children.
Jennifer was loved by many, known to light up a room and be the life of the party. She loved spending time with her three sisters, her large group of friends, being an auntie, and most of all, she loved being a mom, and wife. She loved camping, concerts, and decorating for each, and every holiday. Jennifer had an enormous zest for life and was always there for anyone in need. She had a distinct and contagious laugh that will always be remembered.
She is preceded in death by her grandparents. We know she is with her Nina and Pop-pop now.
She is survived by her husband, Joey Drapeau; daughters, Brynn and Aria Drapeau; parents, Timothy and Sheila McCurry, her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Andy and Pat Drapeau; grandmother, Ethel Rapp; sister Jamie Izaryk and husband, Aaron, sister Justine McCurry and wife, Ashley; sister Jaclyn Dube and husband, Tony, brother-in-law Justin and wife, Kathryn; nephews, Andre, Parker, Nash, and Brody, who is on the way, and niece, Kennedy; many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Visitation will be held at Hope Memorial Chapel in Biddeford on Wednesday, Oct. 18th from 2:00-4:00 p.m. and 6:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Funeral services will be held at St. Joseph's Cemetery in Biddeford at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 19th. The family requests that you wear your gray or purple Jennifer Strong t-shirt or something that is purple in honor of Jennifer's strength.
