After working a couple of years at Moore’s in Westerly, she then married her husband, the late Roland E. Perreault, Sr. on June 25, 1949.

She was known for her hard work and frank opinions and her smile was always contagious! She served her community by being a Girl Scout leader in Richmond, a member of Women’s Business Organizations in Naparee and Chariho, and from time to time a volunteer at Westerly Hospital.
She is also survived by a brother, George Salisbury of Florida and a sister, Frances Stanton of Charlestown, RI, as well as loads of nieces and nephews galore!
