She was born in Webster, the daughter of the late Alfred and Angelina (Bouthiellette) Paquette, and lived in the area most of her life. She and her husband moved to West Hyannisport in 1970 to pursue a landscaping business for the Kennedy compound. They later returned to the area to retire and enjoyed spending the winter months in Lake Worth, FL.  Along with taking care of her children, her favorite part-time job was working for Kelly Home Health Care, sharing her love and compassion for the elderly.  She thoroughly enjoyed travelling, cruising, winning at Foxwoods, and playing Bingo and cards. Her favorite activity was entertaining her beloved great-grandchildren who she deeply loved, and being with her dear friend Inez Lombardi.
