Juliette and her husband George raised their family in Lunenburg, MA. They loved their Pratt Street neighbors and remained lifelong friends with many of them. Juliette worked at different places throughout her life and made the very best friends with whom she stayed in touch, cherishing every conversation and get together. She loved nothing more than chatting and laughing over coffee and dessert. Juliette was a communicant at Our Lady of the Lake Church. She was a woman of strong and persevering faith. Juliette was quiet, humble, soft spoken, and gracious. She continued to touch and impact lives until the day of her death with her gentle, kind way. She was an extraordinary listener. Her family continues to hear stories of the differences she made in people’s lives.

Her family meant everything to her. She was a devoted mother and grandmother. She was happiest when her loved ones were gathered around her table. There was always room for one more. She loved to celebrate everything that made someone else feel special. She put a loving, personal touch on everything she did. Doing for others brought her so much joy. Favorite traditions were always the Leger Christmas Eve party and holidays with the Coutures.

Juliette loved to travel, especially with her nephew Oscar Brodeur and his wife Rita. She loved to go dancing. Doing the polka with her brothers was always tremendous fun for her. She was a wonderful cook, baker, and cake decorator. She enjoyed any project that included attention to detail. Her happy place was at the seashore eating seafood surrounded by her family. She was an especially hard-working person who said yes to anything God asked of her.

The family would like to thank Dr. Nathaniel Merrell, the nurses at Leominster Hospital, specifically on the Med Surge, and ER floors, and the staff at the Life Care Center of Leominster.
