Madawaska--- Donald L. Beaulieu, 74, peacefully passed away November 11, 2025, at a Caribou hospital, following several years of failing health. He was born January 24, 1951, in Madawaska, a son of the late Henry and Delia (Lagasse) Beaulieu.

Don last worked at his brother's store, Larry's One Stop Corner Convenience, Madawaska, for many years servicing the main operations. Previously he worked as a farm hand for his sister and brother-in-law, Mona and Bill Russel, in Georgia, assisting with the care of show horses. Don loved fishing, hunting, and gardening and never hesitated to get his hands dirty. He cherished many family meals and never turned down an extra helping of spaghetti and loved the special relationships he had with his many nieces and nephews.

He is survived by six siblings, Cecilia Dube and her husband Yves, Joan Dube and her partner Mike Rossignol, Diane Lausier and her husband Ken, Charlene Roy and her husband Paul, Mona Russel and her late husband Bill, and his only brother Larry Beaulieu, whom he shared a very special bond with, and Larry's wife Gabby; and a slew of nieces and nephews.

Besides his parents, Don was predeceased by five siblings, Florence Roy and her husband Vernon, Pauline Picard and her husband Robert, Verna Desjardins and her husband Gilles, Gerard Beaulieu and his wife Kathy, and Irene Ouellette and her husband Ghislain.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated in the spring of 2026 at St. Thomas Aquinas Church, Madawaska. Interment will be in the parish cemetery. Date and time will be announced at a later date.
