Clemence R. Nadeau

LEWISTON – In the tranquility of Lewiston, a gentle soul has departed from this earthly stage. Clemence R. Nadeau, a woman of grace and tenderness, graced our world with her presence for 79 remarkable years. Born on a spring day, April 14, 1944, in the heart of Lewiston, she blossomed like a delicate yellow rose, nurtured by the love of her parents, Edward and Ida Gervais.

Clemence, known to her cherished circle as a loving wife, mother, and friend, wove threads of devotion and compassion into the tapestry of her existence.

In the embrace of her enduring love, Clemence leaves behind her beloved husband of 56 years, Lucien Nadeau Jr., a steadfast companion whose heart echoes with memories of shared joys and whispered dreams. Joye Dostie, her daughter, and Alan Nadeau, her son, bear the legacy of her nurturing spirit, forever carrying her love in their hearts. Susan Nadeau, her daughter-in-law, became a cherished member of their tight-knit family, her presence adding new colors to the tapestry of their lives.

Clemence’s journey was intertwined with the lives of those she held dear. In the tapestry of her existence, she cherished her brother, Curly Gervais, a bond unbreakable like the strongest of threads. Sisters-in-law Sandra McGill, Louise Nadeau, and Lucy Gervais adorned her life with friendship, laughter and shared memories. Edward Nadeau, her brother-in-law, shared in her joys and sorrows, a pillar of strength in times of need.

The echoes of Clemence’s love resound in the happiness of her grandchildren, Robert and Ben Dostie, and Cooper and Abby Nadeau. Their lives, touched by her wisdom and tenderness, will forever be shaped by her enduring legacy. And let us not forget her loyal companion, Tramp, a faithful soul who found solace in her presence.

In the embrace of eternity, Clemence reunites with her beloved parents, Edward and Ida Gervais, and her siblings Richard, Angelo, Eugene, Philip, Normand, Conrad, Lee, Mickey, and sister Jackie. Their spirits intertwine in the celestial tapestry, forever bound by the love that transcends time.
