Yvette Michaud

Fort Kent, ME

Yvette (Hebert) Michaud, 88, of Fort Kent, Maine, wife of the late Clifford Michaud, passed away at home, May 31, 2023, peacefully in her sleep of natural causes during the night after going to bed after celebrating her 88th birthday. She was born on May 30, 1935 in St. Agatha, Maine, the daughter of the late Onezime and Laura (Bourgoin) Hebert. After marrying on September 2, 1952, the young couple welcomed their oldest child, Danny the following year in October. In early 1954, they decided to seek more opportunity in Connecticut, where they lived and had 3 more sons. In 1970, the farm that they worked on expanded to the Fort Kent area and they moved back home and managed that farm. In 1978, cancer struck, and after 26 years of marriage, Yvette became a widow at the age of 43. In a true testament to who she was, Yvette then put herself through college at UMFK, where she received a Bachelor Of Science Degree in Education in 1982, at the age of 47. She then taught Special Education, retiring in 2001.

Yvette is survived by 3 sons, David (Brenda) Michaud of Fort Kent; Donald (Sara Kay) Michaud of Chesire, Connecticut; and Dennis Michaud of Fort Kent. She is also survived by daugher-in-law Mary (Swan) Michaud of Waterville, Maine, who was the spouse of her oldest son Danny Michaud, who predeceased her in 2007. She is also survived by 11 grandchildren, Amy, Jennifer, Wendy, Sara, David Eric,  Amanda, Melissa, Connor, Tucker, Austin and Madison; 10 great-grandchildren Brady, Riley, Avery, Ben, Reagan, Belle, Teddy,  Alex, Reed and Penny.

Yvette is also survived by sisters, Viola Pelletier, Anita Madore, Evelyn Fraser and Marie Jeanne Cowan; and was predeceased by brothers Camille, Lomer, Joseph, and sisters Rella Michaud, Priscilla Chasse, Cecile Hebert and Joan Lapiere.
