WOOLWICH — Stephanie Anna Thibeault, 54, of Woolwich, passed away on Saturday, Feb. 7, 2015, in Brunswick. She was born on Nov. 15, 1960, the daughter of Steve and Leta (McClure) Orabetz. She grew up in Brunswick and attended Brunswick High School.
On May 20, 1978, she married her high school sweetheart, John Thibeault, and the couple resided in Texas, where her husband was stationed, to start their lives together.
In 1982, the family moved back to Maine and she was employed by Shaw’s Supermarket as a bakery/deli clerk.
Stephanie was very proud of her boys, she was a mom first and everything else came second. She even looked after the children in the neighborhood, as her house was known as the community house for all. She was a person with a big heart and was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.
In her spare time, she loved to spend time at the beach, reading, she had a passion for cooking and above all she loved spending time with her six grandchildren. She always had a smile on her face when they were around. She will be sadly missed by all those that loved her.
Stephanie leaves behind her husband, John of Woolwich; two sons, Jason Thibeault and his wife Bethany of Harpswell, and John Thibeault Jr. and his wife Chrystal of Bath; three brothers, Steven Edward Oravetz of NC, Dennis Frank Oravetz and his wife Kyong of NV, William Michael Oravetz and his wife Phillis of TX; two sisters, Patricia Ann Rideout and her husband Arthur of Brunswick, and Kathryn Lea Welch and her husband John of NC; many nieces, nephews and friends.
A Celebration of Life will be held in the spring of 2015.
