Shirley A. Thibeault

BEECHER FALLS – Shirley A. Thibeault, 76, of Beecher Falls, Vt., died on Tuesday, Sept. 26, 2023, at the Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital in Colebrook with her sons at her side. She was born in W. Stewartstown on June 4, 1947, a daughter to the late Forest and Ann (Roby) Hubbard, and was raised and attended school in Colebrook. She married at a young age and raised her family in Beecher Falls. Shirley was an iconic figure in her community. For years, she was a beloved bartender at many local establishments, including The Balsams, the Cedar Lounge, the Colebrook House, the Northland, and Colebrook Country Club, where she made many life-long friends. Family was her number one passion, and she was a dedicated mother and a grandmother who cherished her grandchildren. Shirley was known to have quite a green thumb, and her gardens and flowers were always beautiful. She was famous for her holiday decorations, too, always in the spirit. She will also be remembered as being a wonderful cook for her family, all of whom will forever miss her zucchini bread or being sent a package of her “bear shit” cookies. Shirley leaves behind her two sons, Kevin Thibeault and wife Regina of Manassas, Va., and Shawn Thibeault and wife Angelina of Las Vegas, Nev.; eight grandchildren, Tyler Thibeault, Sally Thibeault Bell, Cory Thibeault, Rebecca Hoffman, Kendell Hall, Blake Lemay, Kelsey Knipfer and Edward Orlando; three great-grandchildren, Ankur Thibeault, Amelia Thibeault, and Allie Thibeault; as well as nieces, nephews, and cousins, and many, many friends. She is predeceased by her husband, Gerald “Schmoe” Thibeault in 2009; two children, Chris Thibeault in 2001 and Angele Thibeault in 2012; a grandson, Christopher Thibeault; and three brothers, Claude Hubbard, Sherry Belknap, and Carter Hubbard as a child. At the request of the family, services will be private. Expressions of sympathy in memory of Shirley may be made to The Bridge House, 260 Highland St., Plymouth, NH 03264; or online at tbhshelter.org. The family wishes to express their profound gratitude and appreciation for the staff at UCVH for the exceptional care and comfort that Shirley received in her final days.
