Living in Hudson for a couple of years they settled in Marlborough where they made their home. She moved to Florida four years ago and enjoyed the weather and her outings with Denise. She leaves behind her children, Mary Ann Saliga and her husband Daniel of Middleton, NH, Denise Bouvier and her husband Robert of Cape Coral, FL, Debra Hoffman and her husband Dean of Shrewsbury, MA, Damian (DJ) Robert and his wife Melanie of Epping, NH and Desiree Tedford and her husband Jeff of Boylston, MA.

Her grandchildren, Elizabeth (Saliga) Stoughton, Rebekah (Saliga) Lensky, Leah (Saliga) Labbe, Damian Robert, Katherine (Tedford) Miller, Joshua Tedford, Steven, Ashley and Jennifer Robert and Adrienne and Danielle Hoffman will forever keep her in their hearts. She was blessed with 4 great grandchildren. Her many nieces and nephews, cousins and friends will all miss her. She also leaves her brother Donald Halfyard of River Hebert, NS, who they found after 70 years apart. It meant the world to her to find him. She was predeceased by her sister Carole Robert that she missed terribly. Being a full time wife and mom was who she was. Known for her famous spaghetti and meatballs and homemade soup, Sunday family dinners will always be cherished. She also worked for many years at the IGA with her good friend Carol Audette.  She loved working at the Hot Dog Truck, in Marlboro with her daughter Denise and husband Bobby. Faith was such an important part of her life and her devotion to it showed every day. She was an active member of St. Mary's Church in Marlborough until they closed. She then joined St. Mary of the Hills in Boylston, MA where she attended until moving to Florida.  Her family was her life.  Her love of life and selflessness made her treasured by everyone that ever met her. With never a mean word to say she was a role model on how to treat others and live life giving without expecting anything in return.  Her marriage was one that some only dream about having, full of unconditional love and respect.
