Marion Mae Dube

COLEBROOK – Marion Mae (Therrien) Dube, 81, of Colebrook peacefully went to be with her Lord on Wednesday, June 17, 2020, at her home surrounded by her family after a long illness. Marion was born the second of nine children on Feb. 3, 1939, in Beecher Falls, Vt., at the family home of the late Emile and Edna (Uran) Therrien, Sr. She went to Canaan Memorial High School, where she enjoyed playing on the basketball team. Being small of stature, she was able to weave between her opponents on the court which made her a great asset to her team. She also was a majorette baton twirler and liked sharing how good she was. Her family enjoyed her quick wit, joking and love for laughter. Marion had dreams of becoming a nurse, but life took an unexpected turn when she was introduced to a handsome young Canadian, Denis Dube. Their two-year courtship was quite interesting considering she spoke only English and he only French. During that time, as they learned each other’s language, their courtship developed into a love that would last 62 years and produce 5 children. In the early years, Marion and Denis worked at the Ethan Allen factory in Beecher Falls. Later, opportunity would move the family to Nashua, NH. Marion and Denis, along with their family, enjoyed many camping trips all over New England. This later would lead to the purchase of a camp along the Androscoggin River in the north woods of NH, where, through the years, the family would enjoy fishing, four-wheeling, snowmobiling, and cookouts with large gatherings of family and friends. Those were some of the happiest days of Marion and Denis’ life together, enjoying their family and even now adding grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her deep, abiding faith nurtured her throughout her life. Marion took a position as church clerk to which she devoted many years. Prayer for her family, friends and loved ones were a priority in her life. She believed in praying hope and blessings onto future generations. She is survived by her husband and love of her life, Denis Dube of Colebrook; her daughters, Lucille Salisbury (Daniel), Linda Labonville (Shawn); her sons Ronald Dube (Penny), Gerald Dube (Tina), and Bernard Dube (Donna); a sister, Shirley Stevens (Charles); her brothers, Philip Therrien (Rena), David Therrien (Penny), and Victor Therrien (Helen). Marion’s memory will be carried on by all her family including 11 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. The family wishes to thank the North Country Health & Hospice Agency for their dedication and compassionate care. A celebration of Marion’s life will take place later in the summer or early fall. Expressions of sympathy in memory of Marion may be made to the North Country Home Health & Hospice Agency, 536 Cottage St., Littleton, NH 03561.
