Madawaska---Janet (Bourgoin) Pelletier, 86, was taken into God's hands on May 23, 2011 at a Madawaska health care facility to be with her beloved husband Bob (Robert) and her sons, Roger, Denis, Steve, Tom, and her infant daughter Mary. She was born in Stockholm on February 10, 1925, the daughter of Hubade and Modeste (Pelletier) Bourgoin. She was a member of the Daughters of Isabella and the American Legion Auxillary, Unit 147 of Madawaska. Janet was well known for her cooking, knitting, gardening, and she was an avid reader. She was a woman of strong faith, and her rosary was never to far from her. Her smile, positive attitude, and unconditional love enriched the lives of her family and friends. She is survived by three sons, Ron and his wife Carlene and their children, Jennifer Marston and her husband Doug, her great grandson Jake, Stephanie Brown and her husband Michael; George and his wife Judy and their children, Lacey, Erica, and Jordi; Francis and his wife Sherry and their children, Lenny and Jasmine; Denis's children, Thomas (T.J.) and Kelly. She also leaves behind her sisters-in-law, Amanda, Yvette, and Jeannine Bourgoin, Inede (Reginald) Couturier and Jeannette Pelletier; many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her sister Priscilla and her brothers, Ned, George, Paul, and Gerald. The family would especially like to thank the staff at Ridgewood Estates and Hospice for the loving and compassionate care given to Janet, especially during her final days.
