She was born in Lewiston, on Aug. 4, 1936, the daughter of the late Paul Emile and Bella (Tremblay) Poulin. She had been a resident of this community all of her life.
She was educated in Lewiston schools and was a graduate of St. Dominic’s High School with the class of 1955.
Laurette began her teaching career at St. Peter’s Elementary School teaching the Second Grade for the next 47 years. She taught many students throughout the years and whenever she saw someone, they would acknowledge her as Miss Poulin which would always put a great big smile on her face.
In her spare time, Laurette loved to knit sweaters, mittens, blankets, hats and especially Christmas stockings for all the children in her family. She loved traveling to Chicoutimi, PQ, Canada to visit relatives, dining out with family and friends and going to local high school hockey games. Most of all Laurette enjoyed spending time with family and friends. She will be missed dearly by many.
