VAN BUREN – Denise Marie Megquier, 42, passed away unexpectedly Sunday, Oct. 2, 2011, with her sister, Diane; and her beloved Stevie-boy beside her, at a Caribou hospital. She was born Aug. 30, 1969, in Malden, Mass., daughter of Harold Megquier of Orient and Mary (Gilfoyle) Megquier of Houlton.
She is survived by two sisters, Debby and her husband, Michael Kenyon, of Weston, and Diane and her husband, Paul Dumont, and their children, Damien and Isaiah of Wade; her second family of 20-plus years, Steve and Sheryl Parent of Van Buren, and their children, Elijaah Parent, Jason and Marie Parent, Scott and Mecca Parent, and their daughters, Maizlyn and Morgan Parent, all of Van Buren; her half sisters, Donna Megquier and family, Kelley Megquier and Danny Megquier, all of Massachusetts, along with Linda McDonough of Florida; many aunts, uncles and cousins. Denise was predeceased by her parents, Harold Megquier and Mary Megquier.
Although Denise was born with many physical and mental health problems, she always found a way over, around or through them, usually getting whatever she wanted. Most of the time that was a coffee from Tim Horton’s, ATV time with Steve or special quiet time before bed with Sheryl. For any one that was “touched” by Denise throughout the years, please remember her while you enjoy your daily cup of coffee.
Relatives and friends may call 10-11 a.m. Thursday at Ouellette-Thibault Funeral Home, 118 High St., Van Buren, where a funeral service will be held 11 a.m. Thursday. Interment will be at Grande Riviere Cemetery. To leave online condolences, please visit
