BANGOR - Joseph O. Violette, 89, passed away peacefully March 18, 2013, surrounded by his family. Joe was born July 8, 1923, in Keegan, to Severin and Marguerite (Martin) Violette. He was one of nine children.
Joe graduated from Van Buren High School in 1943 and then immediately entered the U.S. Army Infantry to serve our country in North Africa, Italy and France, as an anti-tank gun crewman. When he returned to Maine he enrolled in the Bangor School of Commerce, where he graduated with an associate degree in accounting. He later received an honorary Bachelor of Science degree in business administration from Husson College in 1995. Joe began his career at Bangor Roofing as an accountant. From there he worked as the comptroller at Stanley J. Leen Electric, Brewer, until his retirement. Joe was also a business entrepreneur buying, renovating and renting apartment houses and co-owning Dunkin' Donuts franchises in Brunswick, Presque Isle and Bucksport. Joe married Beatrice LeVasseur from Limestone, June 14, 1948. They raised four "awesome" children. He will be remembered for his kind, generous and outgoing nature. He loved to tell jokes, especially "corny" ones, which the family refers to as "Joe jokes." He dedicated his life to providing for his family. He enjoyed playing golf and was a longtime member of Penobscot Valley Country Club. After retiring he and Bea spent many enjoyable winters at their home in Florida. Joe belonged to the Bangor Jaycees, Lion's Club and Knights of Columbus. He initiated St. Mary's St. Matthews Federal Credit Union in 1964 and was president for many years.
Joe is survived by his wife of 64 years, Beatrice; his four children, Norma Gomez and husband, Mike, Catherine Violette, Mark Violette and his wife, Pamela, and Lisa Norsworthy and husband, David; grandchildren, Erin Valenzula, Kelly Mullhern, Alexander and Blake Violette and Jeffrey Lovely, Katie, Jake and Michelle Norsworthy; five great-grandchildren; four sisters, Theresa Violette, Simonne Violette, Lorraine Gagnon and Priscilla Blier; as well as many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his sister, Carmen Couturier; and brothers, Louis, Martin and O'Neil Violette. The family extends its heartfelt thanks to the staff of Maine Veterans Home, Bangor, and Community Health and Counseling Services Hospice for their excellent and compassionate care.
Family and friends may visit 4-6 p.m. Friday, March 22, at Kiley & Foley Funeral Service, 299 Union St., Bangor. A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated 11 a.m. Saturday, March 23, at St. Paul the Apostle Parish, St. Mary's Catholic Church, Ohio Street, Bangor. Burial with military honors will be at Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Bangor. A reception will be held immediately afterward in the parish center. In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions to the Activity Fund at Maine Veterans Home, 44 Hogan Road, Bangor, ME 04401.Joseph Beatrice Levasseur [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

55. Therese M. (TT) Violette (38.Marguerite3, 13.Prime2, 1.Francois1) 13 Oct 1924 Keegan, ME; 25 Sep 2019Bangor, ME; 4 Oct 2019Bangor, ME. Notes:
DOB: Lippe pg 213
Theresa M. Violette passed from this world on September 25, 2019 just 18 days before her 95th birthday. She was born in Keegan, Maine, the daughter of Severin and Margeurite Violette, and grew up in Van Buren with her parents and 8 siblings.
After graduating from Sacred Heart High School in Van Buren, Theresa (aka TT) worked as a phone operator on the graveyard shift, and she liked to joke about how her job made her privy to all the town's gossip. Eventually, she settled in Bangor and worked for the phone company until her retirement in the mid-80's. She loved retirement and immensely enjoyed "puttering" around the house doing projects, lovingly caring for her blackberry patch and tomatoes, and always making sure her local family had her special "TT fudge" and bread for holidays. She took a quilting class and would hand-quilt lovely blankets. She was also a wonderful knitter and many of us benefited from her afghans. Theresa was a bright light and a loving constant to her family. She had many nieces and nephews that thought of her as a second mother. We could always depend on her warmth, hugs, encouragement, and wonderful sense of humor. As her health declined in recent years, she moved to Dirigo Pines where she quickly won over the staff by, as was reported to her family, her "unfailingly pleasant" personality. The family would like to thank them for their care and love.
Theresa is survived by two sisters, Lorraine Gagnon of Greenville, SC and Priscilla Blier and husband Roland of Bridgeport, CT and too many nieces and nephews to mention.56.
