AUBURN – Germaine L. Bilodeau, 84, of Auburn, died peacefully at her residence on Tuesday, Oct. 30, with her family by her side.

She was born in St. Honore de Shenley, P.Q., on March 31, 1923. She immigrated to the states as an infant with her parents, Xavier and Lumina (Goulet) Roy. She was the youngest of 12 children. She attended Lewiston schools and graduated from Lewiston High School, Class of 1942.

Married in 1944, she moved to Auburn four years later and there lived the remainder of her life. She worked many years at Philips Elmet Corp. as an inspector and even after her retirement in 1986, she continued to do volunteer work in the community.
