Laurette M. Nadeau

Dan McClelland

Laurette M. Nadeau, 87, formerly of Tupper Lake, passed away on May 13, 2022 in Rome, N.Y., surrounded by family. She was the widow of Alban Nadeau, also of Tupper Lake.

Laurette was born in St. Francis, New Brunswick, Canada on March 3, 1935 and was the daughter of Alphee and Alice (Emond) Cyr. She was the fifth of 12 children in her family.

In 1954 Laurette moved to Long Lake, and in 1963 she moved with her growing family to Tupper Lake. It was in Tupper Lake that she and her husband raised their nine children.

Although she spent most of her adult life in the New York, she loved sharing fond memories of her childhood in New Brunswick. The skills she learned growing up on a farm gave her the ability to raise such a large family. Not wanting much, she led a simple and uncomplicated life. One of her greatest joys came from the occasional family visitors from Canada. The house would figuratively explode with aunts, uncles and cousins. Two different languages would be spoken simultaneously and somehow everyone knew what was being said. She was in her element, and at her best, when family visited from Canada.

She was predeceased by her husband Alban Nadeau, eldest son Yves Nadeau, sisters Yvonne Cyr, Therese Cormier, Georgette Cyr, Louisette Cyr and Marie-Anna Power and brother Albert Cyr.

She is survived by daughters (and spouses): Claire and Scott Blair (Rome, N.Y.) and Rhonda and William Steele (Shoreham, Long Island), sons (and spouses): Rock and Monica Nadeau (Farmington, ME), Paul and Susan Nadeau (Waterbury, VT), Perry and Sandra Nadeau (Conshohocken, PA), Richard and Lynn Nadeau (Tupper Lake), Andy and Margo Nadeau (Cicero, N.Y.) and Kevin and Cristi Nadeau (Castleton on Hudson, NY), brother: Renaud Cyr (St. Francis, NB) and sisters Jeanne d’Arc Nadeau (Edmundston, NB), Nicole Mazerolle (Siegas, NB), Yvette Rioux (Fort Kent, Maine) and Cecile Chapman (Brockville, Ont).

Laurette is also survived by 18 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.

Funeral service will be at the Frary Funeral Home, 24 Cliff Ave in Tupper Lake, N.Y. Calling hours are between 1-3 p.m. on Wednesday, May 18. Interment will follow at the St Alphonsus Cemetery.
