Robert Michaud Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Plummer Funeral Home - Augusta on Jan. 23, 2026.
CHELSEA-- Robert "Bob" Leo Michaud Sr., 83 of Chelsea, was called home to his Lord and Savior Wednesday, January 21, 2026. Bob was born in Augusta Maine, the son of Leonard Joseph Michaud and Mary Adaline (Coombs) Michaud.

He was a retired diesel mechanic for JJ Nissen Bakery where he worked for 28 years. His love for cars started at an early age and never ended, beginning with his first job at Shoppe Ford. He was always working in the garage on fixing and restoring old cars and taught his sons and grandsons the joy of tinkering in the garage. His favorite restoration was the '57 Ford Fairlane that he built with the help of daughter Amanda and his grandson Robbie.

Bob was a family man and loved spending weekends with his children. He would bring them swimming to the Whippoorwill, to parades, lighting fireworks, having cookouts and mostly going for rides on Sunday with the family. Bob would drive all over the state looking at the beautiful views.

He is survived by his wife Patricia Ann (Albert) Michaud of Chelsea, his seven children; Robert L. Michaud Jr. of Pittston, Ann-Marie McFarland of Augusta, Dena-Lee Shorey and her husband Brian of Whitefield, John M. Michaud of Saco, Amanda Chapman and her husband Jesse of Chelsea, Michelle A. Libby and her husband Dave of Farmingdale and Christine M. Pushard and her husband Jamie of Pittston. He is also survived by his grandchildren Kyle Michaud and his wife Helena, Robert Michaud, Cameron, Sean and Evan Michaud, Mason Darveau, Danara-Mae Millington, Elliot and Gabrielle Chapman, Austin, Zach and Dillon Libby and his great-grandchildren Nathan, Alexander and Ellie.

He was predeceased by his father and mother, his brother Richard E. Michaud and his sister-in-law Shirely (Partridge) Michaud and his first wife Beverly A. (Golden) Fish.

There will be a celebration of life Saturday January 31st at 1pm at his house, 339 Togus Rd in Chelsea for those that want to pay respects to his family. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Boys and Girls Club of Kennebec Valley
