Rose Alice Stanislas' Obituary
Rose Alice Stanislas, 83, passed peacefully October 16, 2013 surrounded by her loving family. She was born September 12, 1930 in Notre-Dame-de-Stanbridge, Quebec, Canada to the late Philippe and Evelyn (Sampson) Dupont. Left to cherish her memory is her husband of 65 years, Laurence; son, Roger Stanislas and his wife Patty of Louisiana; daughters, Helen Anderson and her husband Dennis of Florida and Diane Blais and her husband Marc of Massachusetts; brothers, Louis, Olidas Dupont both of Quebec, Canada and Henri Dupont and his wife Lucille of Massachusetts; grandchildren, Daniel, Eric, Andrew, Nicole, Denise, Dennis, Chantal, Dominic and Nicholas; great-grandchildren, Ashlyn, Easton, Hunter, Hannah, Cailyn, Emily, William, Cody and Alex. Rose is preceded by her sister, Cecile Stanislas; and brothers, Albert, Ambroise and Maurice Dupont. Rose spent her life in both Massachusetts and Florida alongside her family. She was a devout Christian and took pride in her French Canadian heritage. She was the former president of the Ladies of St. Anne, a longtime member of St. Thomas Aquinas in the Brightwood neighborhood of Springfield. Rose, a jack of all trades, enjoyed cooking, gardening, sewing, music, singing in the choir and was deeply involved with many ministries and Christian work. Rose was the matriarch of the family, who placed her love of Christ and family above all else. Rose cherished her time spent on family vacations, attending grandchildren sporting events, the Red Sox, Holiday gatherings and cooking for “her army” of family and friends.
