Adeline Roberge

Adeline Roberge, 95, of Newington, passed away peacefully with her family by her side, on December 28, 2021. She was born on February 1, 1926, in Frenchville, Maine, the daughter of the late Denis and Roseanna (Bouchard) Michaud. She lived in Frenchville until the age of 15 and moved to New Britain where she graduated from New Britain High School in 1944. She then met and married her late husband Herman Roberge, and they raised their 6 children. When Herman passed away at an early age, she proved her resilience by learning how to drive, getting a job with the State of CT, and continuing to raise their children. Throughout her life she persevered. She grew up on a farm without running water or electricity to years later learning how to flip through Facebook to make sure she knew what was going on.

Adeline was a longtime member of St. John the Evangelist Church of New Britain and a member of the St. Jean-Baptiste Societe Womens' Auxiliary for many years. She enjoyed playing cards and Yahtzee with her family, making jigsaw puzzles, and watching the Boston Red Sox play. She loved vacationing with her family, the beach, camping, and people watching at her pool. Above all, her favorite thing to do was spend time with her family. 

Adeline is predeceased by her husband Herman Roberge, her son Daniel Roberge, her brother Theo, and her sisters Theoline, Lucille, Carmen, Alphena, and Juliette. She is survived by her beloved children; her daughter Sandra Tilley of Newington, son Richard Roberge and his wife Denise of Berlin, son Paul Roberge and his wife Lillian of Kensington, son James Roberge of Meriden, and daughter Judith Lombard of Rocky Hill. She also leaves her cherished grandchildren; Joseph Roberge and his wife Alaina, Lisa Roberge, Paul Edward Roberge, Richard Roberge, Jeffery Roberge and his wife Beth, Sarah Tilley, Kimberly Lechowicz and her husband Steve, Lauren Roberge, Kaelee Roberge, Dylan Lombard, and Grace Lombard. She is also survived by twelve great grandchildren, many nieces and nephews, and two sisters-in-laws: Noella Roberge and Nancy Roberge.

Adeline surprised everyone with her sharp wit. She was a wise woman who inspired us with her faith, love for her family, grace, honesty, integrity, and kindness. She will be missed by all those who knew her.

Our family would like to thank all her physicians for their kindness, patience, and care throughout the years, especially Dr.Alicja Harbut her PCP. We are also very grateful to the team at Enliven Group for their guidance and care.
