Della Daigle

Della Daigle, 89, died peacefully May 18, 2025 at her Caribou residence surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Stockholm, Maine on January 5, 1936, the daughter of Arthur and Odelie (Lozier) Rossignol. On January 5, 1963 she married Gilford Daigle, and together they made their home first in Eagle Lake, Maine then in Caribou, Maine. She was a selfless caregiver to her family, her many daycare kids, foster children and her precious grandchildren.

She was also a devoted Catholic who trusted in the Lord, attended mass faithfully and never missed her daily rosary with Mother Angelica. Della will be remembered for being grateful, generous and joyful. Her kind and gentle spirit brought out the best in everyone who knew her.

She was predeceased by her beloved husband Gilford Daigle, her parents, sisters Amelda Gormley, Regina Doucette, and Viola Secrist, and brothers, Clarance, Rosaire, Armand, and Richard Rossignol.
