Venita was predeceased by her brothers, George Parizeau and Frederick Pariseau and her sister, Leona Horner.
Venita devoted her life to her beloved family. She was a caring, friendly person who had a great sense of humor and always enjoyed a good joke. Venita was quiet, gentle and well-loved. She was a strong faith- filled woman who took care of her family and so many others throughout her life. She was a devout Catholic and was an active member of the former St. Mary's Parish in Marlborough. She served on the Sunshine Committee at Academy Knoll where she resided for 29 years. Among her interests, she enjoyed gardening, crafts-especially needlepoint, and watching her Boston Red Sox. However, her most cherished times were those spent with her loved ones. She will be sadly missed by all.
Her family wishes to express their sincerest heartfelt gratitude to the entire staff at The Coleman House for their exceptional, compassionate care that was given over her residency.
