Diane A. LaPointe
July 31, 2004
Kennebunk, ME

Diane A. LaPointe passed away peacefully on July 31, 2004 at Huntington Common
surrounded by her children and other family members. Diane had fought a courageous battle with cancer, and her strength and faith throughout this ordeal served as an example of her commitment to serving others.

A long time resident of Kennebunk, Diane was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts on July 16, 1943, the daughter of Hedwig A. Bernard and the late Valmore A. Bernard.
Educated in both Lawrence and Methuen schools, she was employed for many years at Huntington Common, and earlier, in the hospitality industry in the Kennebunk area.

In September 2001, Diane was honored by the Kennebunk-Kennebunkport community by being named “Citizen of the Year.” In receiving this honor, Diane was aptly described as an “everyday” person doing “extraordinary” things to help others. Diane’s life was truly a “tapestry” of acts of kindness, not only for her family, friends, co-workers, and the elderly with whom she worked, but for anyone whom she saw as having a need. Douglas Stockbridge, Managing Director of Huntington Common, described Diane at the time of this award as “…just a remarkable human being who thinks of other people way before she thinks of her own needs.” Another citizen, applauding Diane’s selection as “Citizen of the Year” added: “Diane is the embodiment of the unique fabric of our two towns…people who care about one another, and quietly, without recognition, go about helping others, day after day.”

Diane’s primary mission in life was that of being a caring, devoted mother to her four children. She was proud of their achievements, both in their personal and professional lives; her children, in turn, realized that it was their mother’s sacrifices, including working long hours, while always being there for them, that made this possible. “Our beloved mother touched so many lives. Her caring nature, her love for children, her infectious smile, and warm sense of humor will be part of our lives forever. In a word, she was the perfect mother.”

Diane is survived by her mother of Lawrence, MA., four children, Donald E. LaPointe III and his wife Lisa, of Amesbury, Mass.; Denise A. LaPointe of Boston, Mass; Deborah A. LaPointe-Sleeper and her husband Brian, of York, and Deanna E. Ruland and husband Todd, of York; seven grandchildren, Justin Donovan, Kassie LaPointe, Luke Claflin, Sam LaPointe, Max LaPointe, Emma Ruland and Sophia Ruland; five siblings, Geraldine Bernard of San Leandro, Ca., Peter R. Bernard of Garden Grove, Ca., Doris B. Czajkowski of Sterling, Mass., Valerie M. Mosko of Salisbury, Mass., and Maureen B. Rodrigues of Salem, NH; her former husband and friend Donald E. LaPointe, Jr. of Greenville and 13 nephews and nieces.

Calling hours will be on Wednesday, August 4, 2004 from 4:00-8:00p.m. at the Bibber Memorial Chapel, 67 Summer Street, Kennebunk.
A funeral mass will be held at 10:15a.m. on Thursday, August 5, 2002 at St. Martha’s Church, Kennebunk. Interment will be in Hope Cemetery, Kennebunk.

Memorial contributions may be made to Beacon Hospice, 54B Atlantic Place, South Portland, ME 04106.
