AUBURN — Jacqueline E. (Jackie) Roy, 93, of 152 Seventh St., Auburn, died Thursday, Sept. 9, at her home, surrounded by her family, after a short illness.

She was born in Lewiston, the daughter of Yvonne and Willie Thibault. She attended local schools and graduated from beauty school in 1953, and then worked as a hairdresser in Portland.

She married Larry Roy in 1938 and they were married 61 years, until he died in 1999. They had two daughters and Jackie became a stay-at-home mom. She provided a warm, safe and loving home for her husband and daughters.

She belonged to St. Louis Senior Citizen Group and was so happy to spend Wednesday afternoon with her dear friends at St. Louis Beano.

She is survived by her daughters, Madeleine Roy, and her partner, Glen Trynor, of W. Gardiner, and Anita Veilleux and her husband, Larry, of Harpswell and Arizona; grandchildren, Gerry and Gary Nadeau of Monmouth, Kathy Armstrong of Livermore, and Sandra Jolley of Arizona; great-grandchildren, Ashley, Tyler, Darian and Brittany Nadeau, Michael Armstrong and Andrew, Willy, Lilly and Lucy Jolley; great-great-grandchildren, Kaydence Holt and Khloe Nadeau; sisters, Simone Caron of Oregon, and Mrs. Colette Dufresne of Lewiston; and many nieces and nephews.

Her joie de vivre and positive attitude will be missed by all.
