Emma Mae Patrick

She was born on April 8, 1925 in Rumford Maine, the daughter of Leslie and Rose Biggar.

Emma was married for 45 years to the late Stephen J. Patrick. They raised their family on Roxbury Rd in Mexico Maine. She was a devout Catholic, a congregant of the former St. Theresa’s Parish, where she belonged to the Ladies of St. Anne.

She was talented with knitting and crocheting, and was an avid reader. Emma especially enjoyed spending time with friends and playing bingo. Her many summers were spent at Dummer’s Beach in Weld with her family and was a great source of joy for her.

She is lovingly remembered by her family as being an especially patient, kind, and gentle soul, who will be deeply missed.

Survivors include her daughter Janice Thibeault and Rapheno Thibeault Jr. of Mexico, son John and wife Claire Patrick of Rumford, son Tom and wife Penny Patrick of Peru, and daughter Sharon and husband Ivan Coulombe of Kennebunk; seven grandchildren, Jen Rinaldo and husband Rick, Brian Thibeault, Greg Blouin, Joshua Patrick, Emily Chambers and husband Justin, and Alexander and Alyssa Coulombe; and two great grandchildren, Eli and Grace Rinaldo.

The family would like to express their deep gratitude to the loving care given to their mother by the staff of the Rumford Community Home, with special mention of her roommate Anna May Buotte.

Besides her husband, Mae was predeceased by her son, Stephen L. Patrick, infant daughter Linda Rose Patrick and daughter Brenda J. Patrick.
