MaryAnn Jolicoeur Obituary
CUMBERLAND - MaryAnn (Binette) Jolicoeur, 75, passed away unexpectedly in her home on May 16th, having just enjoyed her morning coffee, cigarette and daily game of WORDLE.
She was the wife of the late Charles W. Jolicoeur, the love of her life, to whom she was married to for 37 years. She was born in Woonsocket, daughter of the late Omer and Mary (Pasichny) Binette of Blackstone.
MaryAnn served as the Public Housing Manager for the Woonsocket Housing Authority for 36 years before retiring in 2017. She is noted to be first female to hold the position of Housing Manager in the State of Rhode Island - a distinction she was very proud of. She was known as tough, but fair, as she fought for the betterment of her tenants and their community.
Mom loved bird watching, frozen margaritas on a hot day, playing WORDLE, stopping by unannounced for a coffee, luncheons with friends, Woonsocket politics, gardening, smoking, neighborhood gossip, Caryn's spaghetti and meatballs and sending lovely handwritten cards for every and any occasion - complete with her beautiful and unmistakable penmanship.
Most of all, she loved spending time with her children and grandchildren. She is survived by her five children, Curtis Jolicoeur, her favorite, and his wife Jennifer of N. Smithfield, Robyn Jolicoeur, her favorite, and her fianc Thomas Lepore of Cumberland, Craig Jolicoeur, her favorite, and his wife Erin of Cumberland, Caryn Beaudoin, her favorite, of Blackstone, and Kristen Charron, her favorite, and her husband Eric of Blackstone. Her 12 grandchildren, Maddison, Miles, Claudia, Rain, Hannah, Gabriel, Kyle, Maya, Savana, Brooke, Payton, and Lincoln. She is also survived by her sister, Constance (Richard) Bousquet of Blackstone. In addition to her parents, she is predeceased by her sister Irene (Frederick) Hartnett of Woonsocket.

I was very saddened to hear about the passing of dear Mary Ann. I lived next door to Charlie Mary Ann and the kids for 12 years. I would stop in often to say hi have conversation about life or grab a beer. Both Charlie and Marianne were wonderful caring people. I remember going to Martha's Vineyard with them and also all five kids to see their eldest son Curtis and his new restaurant. I felt like I had made true friends with the whole family that will last a lifetime. My condolences to all the kids and friends that she touched.

Curtis and Robyn....... Not sure if you remember me. I lived next door to your mom and dad and when you were little would come over to see my mom and dad with his ponies. My brother was Carl who passed in 2012 and my wife was Suzanne (Jodoin) Renaud who passed in 2011. I now live in Dublin, Ohio, Your parents were the sweetest people and so kind to my mom and dad.

Maryann will be missed by the Blackstone High Class of 67. A life long friend who I met as family paperboy a long long time ago and one who shared those luncheons. We will miss her.

I am so sorry to hear about this. I have known your Mom for a number of years. She was always so pleasant and admired my orchids, which were usually in bloom, when she visited. She will be sorely missed.
