LEWISTON — Pauline A. Bussiere, 97, of Lewiston, died Sunday morning, July 2, in the Marshwood Center nursing home in Lewiston.

She was born January 14, 1920, in Van Buren, the daughter of Francois and Albina L’Italien Violette. She was educated in Presque Isle schools, and on April 14, 1941, she married Roland Bussiere, who passed away in 1985. For several years, she worked for Zayre as the Fabric Department manager. Pauline enjoyed cooking, sewing, reading and jigsaw puzzles. She loved keeping her yard neat and tidy, and in the fall, you would see her with a rake in her hands almost every day, trying to keep up with the falling leaves. Pauline was a devoted wife and a wonderful mother, and she will be greatly missed.

Survivors include a son, Ronald Bussiere and wife, Brenda, of Turner; two daughters, Suzanne Harlow and husband, Garry, of Lewiston, and Jo Ann Brochu of Auburn; a sister, Christine Hopkins of Auburn; and a sister-in-law, Aline Violette of Lewiston. She also leaves behind 10 grandchildren; 24 great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren.

In addition to her parents and husband, she was predeceased by a son, Richard Bussiere; sisters, Muriel Turgeon and Lola Bedell; and brothers, Angelo, Raymond, Phillip and Benny Violette.

The family would like to thank the staff at Marshwood for the excellent care they gave her.
