Madeline Cecile Molleur

Madeline Cecile Molleur (KiKi) passed away on Sunday April 7, 2024 with her family by her side. Madeline was born in Montreal, Canada to Paul and Theresa (Joyal) Molleur on February 14, 1943, the fifth eldest of 15 children. 

Madeline was known for her love of children. Over the years she happily babysat many of her nieces and nephews and all of her grandchildren. Madeline was always happy to help when a grandchild, niece or nephew was not feeling well enough for school. She would take care of them, doting on them to help them feel better. Madeline took great pride in providing day care for many of the local children in and around the Bend. Many of them would stop to visit Madeline as adults and that would make her so happy. 

Halloween was one of Madeline’s favorite times. She would keep track of how many kids stopped at her house to trick or treat and she would be so excited to tell everyone how many had come by. 

Madeline enjoyed sitting on her porch in her Adirondack chair with her beloved dog Milo watching over the Bend and visiting with friends and neighbors. 

One of Madeline’s favorite things to do was to walk every day. She would be out early morning and afternoon walking up and down the Bend. When Madeline’s health was not at its best she still managed at least one walk a day using her walker. 

Madeline enjoyed and looked forward to visiting with her family and friends at her home. She especially loved going to lunch and shopping with her sisters and children. 

Madeline was predeceased by her parents Paul and Theresa Molleur, brothers Marcel Molleur, Claude Molleur, Gerard Molleur, Bernard Molleur, and partner Donald Ferland, and former spouse Michael Ducharme. 

She is survived by her five children: Peter and Tessa Ducharme of Walden, VT, Thomas and Kathy Ducharme of Monroe, NH, Patrick and Cheryl Ducharme of Hardwick, VT, Melissa and Fred Anair of Walden, VT, and Michelle and Dennis Rich of Stannard, VT. Madeline also leaves 11 grandchildren, and two great grandchildren, 10 brothers and sisters, and many nieces and nephews, cousins and friends.
