RAYMONDE JULIETTE ROCHON

BRISTOL — Raymonde Juliette Rochon, 82, passed away Tuesday, May 9, 2023, at her home in Bristol peacefully.

She was born Aug. 6, 1940, in Chrysler, Ontario, Canada, the daughter of Albert and Alphonsine (Laplante) LaFleche.

Her family moved to the United States in 1947, where she graduated from Vergennes Union High School as a valedictorian. She was a very hard worker, articulate, and adapted to several positions. She was a very kind soul who would do anything for anyone — her smile and laughter were loved by all. When she wasn’t working she liked to spend time with her family and friends. She enjoyed fishing, bowling, car rides, an occasional trip to the casino, and making people as comfortable as possible, whether it was a glass of water, food or a shoulder to lean on. She will be deeply missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing her.

Raymonde is survived by her husband, Marcel Rochon of Bristol; her children, Mike Rochon, Maurice Rochon, and Linda Rochon; her siblings Aurele LaFleche, Rejean LaFleche, Lionel LaFleche; her sisters Giselle LaFleche; and Carolyn Smith; Catherine Rochon, Marlene Rochon; nine grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren, along with several inlaws.

She was predeceased by her brother Rheal LaFleche and several- in-laws.

A memorial service will be held at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 20, at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Vergennes.
