Patricia J. Nolet, (Gaudreau), 80, of Haverhill, died peacefully on Sunday, January 15, 2023, at the High Pointe Hospice House in Haverhill.

Pat was born in Haverhill on October 22, 1942.  She was the beloved wife of the late Richard M. (Dick) Nolet, and the daughter of the late Eldon G. and Dorothy M. (Tardiff) Gaudreau.

Raised in “The Acre” section of Haverhill, Pat was a graduate and vice president of her senior class at St. James High School, Class of 1960. She worked for National Liquor, Lady Grace on Merrimack Street, and was a teacher’s aide throughout the Haverhill Public Schools.  Working with children was her passion.  She volunteered at the polls for the city of Haverhill, was a CCD teacher, and a lifelong parishioner at St. James Church in Haverhill.

Pat was asked to dance by the love of her life, Dick, at a CYO dance. Her children are glad she said “Yes!” She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She enjoyed beaches and trips to Europe, California, the state of Washington and Washington, D.C.  Pat was the ultimate aficionado of iced coffee (milk only) and chocolate in any form.

Pat was the loving mother of Julie P. Berthiaume and her husband Daniel of Haverhill, and Stephen R. Nolet and his wife Amy of Poulsbo, WA. She was the sister of Dr. Lawrence J. Gaudreau and his wife Shirley of Paoli, IN, and Robert Gaudreau and his wife Sheila of Tilton, NH. She was the cherished grandmother of Genevieve Nolet, Paul Nolet, David Berthiaume, and Caroline Berthiaume. In addition to her immediate family, Pat treasured her relationships with her many cousins, dear friends, and colleagues.
