Julia L. Theriault

Julia (Chase) Theriault, 82, died peacefully on October 4 at the Aroostook House of Comfort in Presque Isle. She was born in Caribou on May 15, 1943. She worked on farms during harvest season and loved to pick wild strawberries in the summertime. Julia attended the Carson Road Pentecostal Church for several years. She was an avid collector of home ornaments ranging from bells to troll dolls. Julia always greeted family and friends with a smile, and could often be found working on a puzzle or reading a book about frontier life in the American west. She had a close friendship with her sister-in-law Marilyn Chase, with whom she talked nearly every night for over sixty years.

She was the daughter of Howard and Julia Chase. She is predeceased by her husband, Freeman Theriault, her brothers Howard and Roger Chase, and her sisters Charlotte Booth, Elaine Booth, Ethel Searles, Dorothy Green, Louella Coalson, and Marion Rossignol, and by her grandson, Lee Patterson.

Julia is survived by her three sons Darren Theriault, Arthur Theriault, and Freeman Theriault, all of Woodland, and his wife Donella Theriault, all of Woodland; and two daughters, Judy Ann Patterson of Presque Isle, and Maria Bouchard and husband Darryl Bouchard of Woodland. She is survived by grandchildren Chris Bouchard of Woodland, Chelsea Theriault of Washburn, Courtney Derry of Caribou, Ray Galpin, and Crystal Zambrota.

Julia did not wish to have a service of any kind.
