Manchester Obituary: Aurella Ouellette, 90

Aurella “Auntie” Y. Ouellette,90, of Manchester, passed away on November 1, 2016 at Westside Care.

She previously resided at Orford Village Commons with her sister Laurianne. Aurella thoroughly enjoyed her time there and was very fond of Charlie and Eileen.

Aurella retired from the Travelers Insurance Co.in 1988. She enjoyed opera, dancing at the Arthur Murray Studios, knitting, collecting stamps and coins and she was an avid reader.

Mostly she loved spoiling her nieces and nephews, Diane Bouchard, husband Paul of Manchester, Cathy McCann , husband George, James Jutras of Scotland, Glenn Jutras, wife Suzanne of Coventry, Ann Michaud, husband Peter of Lewiston, ME, Bertrand and Paul Ouellette of ME. Bringing Auntie much joy were her grand and great grand nieces and nephews: Aimee, Mark, Alec, Kyle, David, Dave, Mekhi, Anisha, Eleisha, Shane, Jen, Jack, Will, Lauren, Luke, Sam, Sarah, Kyle, Caleb, (and soon Sophie), Rachael, Dan, Ava, Grace, Olivia, Emily, Bruce, Mat, Amanda, Joel, Nicholi, Austin, Jake and Courtney.

Aurella was proud of her Catholic faith. She had statues of the Blessed Mother and St, Anne and was known to give them a “time out” by facing them to the wall if her prayers were not answered the way she liked.We all enjoyed her sense of humor, the penny jars she saved for us, her carrot bread and peanut butter fudge.

Aurella was pre-deceased by her loving parents, Edouard and Emilia (Tremblay) Ouellette, her siblings Edouard Jr. and Camille Ouellette, Marie Dennison and Rita Ouellette all of Lewiston, ME.
