Orono, Maine - Dolores Mary Ouellette - daughter, sister, aunt, wife, mom, grammy, gigi and friend - died peacefully January 7, 2026, surrounded by family and love. Mom was 95 years young and lived her life always with a smile, a kind, giving, caring heart and the belief that life in general was good. She had a glass half-full personality for sure!

Mom was the last of her generation in her family to pass. She was predeceased by her mom and dad, Laura and Elzear Ouellette; brothers, Roland, Kidu, Beau, and Junior; sisters, Priscilla, Lucille, Rose and Theresa; all her brothers and sisters-in-law, several nieces, nephews and many friends. She was also predeceased by her son, David; and furry friends, Pooh and Benji. Surviving and already missing her smile and energy are her daughter and husband, Bonnie and Bob; son, Michael Cote and wife, Heidi; grandsons, Erik Lenfest and wife, Michelle, and Chad Arsenault and wife, Nayara; and great-grandchildren, Nicholas and Madison Lenfest. She is also survived by Dick Lenfest, a "special" son, many nieces and nephews, and several dear and special friends.

Mom was a real Energizer Bunny ... just try to keep up! Her greatest joy was the time spent with family. She also greatly enjoyed socializing with friends, walking, playing cards, spending time outside on her porch and an occasional Happy Hour with her best friend, Maureen. Mo enjoyed life fully and loved with her whole heart. She is already missed but will forever be loved.

We will be celebrating her life with a Mass of Christian Burial in mid-February at Parish of the Resurrection of the Lord, Holy Family Parish, Old Town, with a luncheon to follow. Information on the exact date can be found on the Birmingham Funeral Home website. Please join our family as we celebrate the life of this beautiful heart and soul. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to St. Jude's Children' Research Hospital in Mom's name.
