Bangor – Caroline Louise Charette, 86, died peacefully with her loving family by her side June 21, 2017, after a long battle with Alzheimer’s and COPD. She was born September 4, 1930, in Old Town, the daughter of Joseph and Imelda Theriault.

Louise was a remarkable lady who was both brave, courageous, and most of all very loving. She loved raising her family, even though times were difficult.
