BIDDEFORD – Rita Germaine Voisine-Zuck, 60, of Biddeford, and formerly of New Bedford, Mass. died Nov. 23 2005, at St. Andres Health Care Facility, after a short battle with brain cancer. She was surrounded by her beloved brothers and sisters. Rita was born on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 22, 1945, in Presque Isle, a daughter of Joseph Avila Voisine and Mary Molly Bear-Voisine, whose death preceded hers. She was married to Timothy R. Zuck, Aug. 23, 1971, divorced in 1997. She is survived by a daughter, Celena Campbell; and three grandchildren, Sadie Angelina, Lucas and Darion, all of Austin, Texas.

Voisine, Cecilia Llanas, Celene Therrien, all of Biddeford, Peter Voisine of Waterville, Claire Voisine-Fear of Moorhead, Minn. and David Voisine of Anchorage, Alaska and many nieces and nephews. Rita took great pride in her Native American hertitage. Her generous nature and unconditional love for family was a blessing to all who knew and loved her. We treasure the warmth and love she gave, her wonderful, charismatic laughter and love of life. She is known to us as, “The sister with the biggest heart!” She will be greatly missed. She will be buried in St. Mary’s Cemetery, Presque Isle, ME. Donations in her memory may be made to St. Andres Health Care Facility, 407 Pool St., Biddeford, ME.
