Robert Brouillette

RICHFORD/SHELDON- Robert C. Brouillette, dedicated husband, father of three, and friend to many - passed away on Tuesday, October 25, 2022, at the age of 98 at Our Lady of Meadows in Richford.

He was born in Richford on August 28, 1924, to the late Rosaire and Marie-Rose (Godin) Brouillette.

Robert grew up and attended school in Richford. He met the love of his life Marie-Marthe Theriault and they spent over 30 years working together on their farm in Richford as they built their family. While running the farm, Robert also maintained a bus route, started by his father, for 25 years. Married on September 11, 1954, Robert and Marie welcomed three children together, Christine, Marie, and Andrew. Through the years, Robert enjoyed listening to sports, going for walks, tending to his garden, and watching the news. In 1989 Robert and Marie-Marthe sold their farm to retire. In their retirement they enjoyed visits with family, trips to Florida and Maine, and spending quality time with their children and their families. Robert was a tough hardworking farmer who although quiet, was not afraid to speak up.

He is survived by his wife of 68 years, Marie-Marthe Brouillette of Richford; children, Christine Brouillette of Sheldon, Marie Hardy and her husband Daniel of Gordonsville, VA, and Andrew Brouillette of Sheldon; granddaughters, Dana Pirhonen and her husband Jeremy, and Rebecca Stevenson and her husband Christopher; great-grandchildren, Dela Pirhonen, Caiden Pirhonen, Finley Stevenson, and Oliver Stevenson; siblings-in-law, Dortheè Dancause, Lise Theriault, Romuald Theriault and his wife Dorothy, and Irene Theriault.
