Jeanne Theriault Brickey, 85
Jeanne (Theriault) Brickey, 85, passed away peacefully at her home on December 17, 2024. Jeanne was born to Samuel and Loretta Theriault in Tupper Lake, on May 14, 1939.
"Grandma Jeanne" as she was known to many L.P. Quinners throughout the years, will be dearly missed by those she had the pleasure of helping while she was a foster grandparent at the school. Mom was blessed to be a part of Jane Tower’s class. She loved working with Jane and they became close friends over the years.
Family members say: She will be missed so very much, being a vital part of our everyday lives. Her memory will forever be etched within our minds, hearts and spirits. Her quick wit, sense of humor and willingness to help when needed is going to be so hard to replace. Mom was a true blessing sent to us from God above! No one will or could ever take her place on this Earth. God knew just who to give my sister and I to, she was the best mom in the world to us! We were loved and told that we would be loved forever and to never forget that. Mom had a saying that she always shared with us "I'm not Mae West, but I’ll do my best".
Jeanne was predeceased by her mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Theriault of Tupper Lake. She was also predeceased by her older brother John Theriault and his wife Vivian of Vancouver, WA and older sister Joanne Reandeau and her husband Carter of Tupper Lake. Also, a younger sister Linda Lansbury of Beaufort SC, another sister Charlotte Desmarais and her husband Ted of Tupper Lake, preceded Jeanne, along with two of her grandchildren, Samuel LaRochelle, Jr., 17 and his sister Amy Lynn LaRochelle, 34, both from Lakeland. FL.
Jeannie is survived by her loving son Samuel LaRochelle, Sr. of Tupper Lake and her loving daughter Emily Cooper of Winter Haven, FL. She is also survived by her sisters Sally Morin of New Market, AL, Nancy Gale and her late husband Dick of Winter Haven, FL/Tupper Lake (part-time). She is also survived by her brothers, Samuel Theriault and late wife Rita of Tupper Lake, Jimmy Theriault and Tina of Saranac Lake, Glen Theriault of Huntsville, AL and her brother Rocky Theriault and his wife Barbara of Valley, AL. Jeanne is also survived by nieces and nephews, her grandchildren Paul LaRoche of Lakeland FL, Mike Theriault, Christina, Laura and Rocky LaRochelle of Malone, and 16 great-grandchildren.
Jeanne loved visiting with those she held near and dear to her heart. She loved putting puzzles together by herself or with those that she connected with! She was a loving, caring, and sensitive mother, sister, friend and grandparent to us all. We are all better off now than when we would have been, without her loving influence in our lives. We will always love and miss you being here! Until we join again in the heavenly realms with Jesus - Love always, Sam and Em!
