Germaine was born in La Patrie, in the Province of Quebec, Canada. She lived in Manchaug and Worcester as a child and young adult. She and her husband Eugene eventually moved to Millbury, where they raised their family. Her work history includes Baker's Department Store, Chicago Beef, The Mart, Fidelity Bank, and Sears. Germaine's main focus and biggest love in life was her family and it was what gave her the most joy. She cared for her family selflessly, always putting their needs first. She enjoyed getting together with friends, whether it be for coffee and conversation, playing dominoes or the occasional shopping trip. Germaine found joy in helping others and also liked to read. She was a member of Our Lady of the Assumption Parish in Millbury, and St. Louis Church in Webster. She will be remembered as a loving and selfless wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, who will be dearly missed.
