AUBURN – Fleurette Jacqueline Labbay, 76, of Auburn, passed away Tuesday, Feb. 20, at the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs Home.

She was born to Rose (Cote) and Noel Laplante on Dec. 8, 1930, in Lewiston.

She attended and graduated from St. Peter’s School. On Sept. 4, 1951, she married the love of her life, Ludovic (Lucky) Labbay.

She spent her working years in local shoe shops, such as Federal Shoe, Knapp Shoe and Falcon Shoe, which she retired from in 1993. She was a member of Sacred Heart Church in Auburn. Her faith throughout the years remained very strong until her death. She was also a member of the Golden Age Club and the K of C Ladies Auxiliary No. 106.

In her earlier years, she performed with great enthusiasm and joy as a duo with her sister, Delores, known as the Dolly Sisters.

She will be sadly missed by all.
