1929 – 2009

LEWISTON — Therese Langlois passed away with family at her side on Oct. 27, a few days after suffering a stroke. She was living at Montello Heights since 2007.

Born in Lewiston on May 8, 1929, she was the daughter of Willie and Agnes Morin Mailhot. Mrs. Langlois grew up on Horton Street and attended St. Peter’s School and St. Dominic High School. In 1952, she married Roger Langlois upon his return from duty in Korea.

Together, they raised a family at 14 Parker St., where they lived for 51 years and were parishioners of Sainte Croix Church. Mrs. Langlois was employed as an operator and supervisor by New England Bell, until her retirement in 1986, after 40 years service.

After retirement, she and her husband enjoyed traveling and taking winter vacations to Florida. She spent many days and vacations at Old Orchard Beach and was an avid Pinochle player. Her great pride were her children’s accomplishments and her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
