Alberta Fournier Obituary
Alberta Fournier was born on June 25,1929 and passed peacefully into the loving arms of our Lord at Michaud Manor in Derby Line, Vermont on Sunday February 16, 2025 at 95 years young. She was the daughter of the late Rose and Joseph Labbe of the Stanstead area of Quebec, Canada. She is the widow of Paul Fournier.
They resided for many years in Hartford , CT and moved to Newport, VT in 1975. She was employed at North Country Hospital as a dietician’s aide until she left her position to provide care full time for her husband during his long illness and death in 1998. A resident of Newport Place, she was involved in activities with the other residents who became close friends. In 2020, she moved to Michaud Manor, a residential care home in Derby Line where she became a part of a family of the heart making many new friends amongst the staff and residents. She had a sharp mind, an excellent sense of humor, loved to laugh and dance, and was a very generous soul. Her sense of fashion and love of the color pink earned her the nickname “Pinkie”.
She was also predeceased by her brother Valere Labbe and sister Irene Laroche, niece Louise Gosselin, and grand nephew John Gosselin.
She is survived by her nieces Denise Miller, Diane Beique, Therese Ouellette, Manon Williamson of Manchester ,NH and grand nieces Nancy Gosselin Stone of Irasburg, VT and Tina Campbell of the Newport, VT area, Susan Fauteux, and nephew Denis Labbe of Manchester, NH and grand nephew Marc Gosselin. Also her Godchild, Donna Mercier of Manchester, CT whom she regarded as a daughter, dear friends Estelle LeBlanc of Newport, VT who was her special angel, Cheryl Davio of Newport VT , Florence Fontaine and Barbara Jones of Derby Line, VT, Ward Nolan of Newport , VT, Jack Rosa of Vernon, CT and her many friends from Newport Place and Michaud Manor and the wonderful administrators and staff and former staff (who returned to visit with her) of Michaud Manor who provided a comfortable and loving environment especially during the last few weeks of her life.
Alberta will be celebrated in a funeral mass and reception at Michaud Manor on Thursday May 1, 2025. Family and friends are invited to attend at 11 am. Online condolences may be made at curtis-britch.com. Arrangements are entrusted to the care of Curtis-Britch & Bouffard Funeral Home & Cremation Service, locally family owned and operated.

Alberta and I became friends the minute she came to live at Michaud Manor. We shared many jokes and stories. She will always be one of my favorite residents from my years working at Michaud.❤

Alberta was an angel on earth. Met her because she was a friend of my parents in senior housing. Kept in touch with cards and letters. I send you my condolences on your loss. She was a very special lady. Will always remember her kindness and love.

I didn't know her for long or very well, but I would see her often at Michaud Manor. I remember being Santa Claus and giving her gifts at the Christmas party and her attending a couple of our gospel concerts. Our hearts and prayers are with you.
