Obituary of Patricia A. Bleau

Patricia Ann (Bechard) Bleau passed peacefully on Tuesday evening, September 19, 2023 at the UVM-CVPH medical center in Plattsburgh, New York. Pat was born in Plattsburgh on Sunday, December 10, 1950 to Marcel and Wanda Bechard. She grew up in Rouses Point, attending school and graduating from Champlain Central School in 1969. Pat worked at Northeastern Clinton Central School as a custodian for several years. She then worked as a production operator at Wyeth Pharmaceuticals in Rouses Point, where she retired in 2010. Pat was the ultimate sports mom; traveling near and far to take her boys to hockey or baseball. She could single-handedly pull off a holiday feast for her large family, clean her home in no time, or finish daily loads of laundry without so much as a sigh. She always gave and never asked for anything in return. Pat enjoyed over twenty years of camping at Blue Haven Campground in Ellenburg, NY where she and her siblings stayed in the summer months. Her little piece of paradise by the babbling brook was perfect for her. Pat also enjoyed traveling, NASCAR, attending Plattsburgh State Men’s Hockey games, playing Bingo, and enjoying time with her family. Nana/Nanny, as her young grandchildren loved to call her, especially enjoyed watching them grow up. She was happiest when they would stay for sleepovers, make cookies, ride in the golf cart, or sit by the campfire. Pat is survived by her sisters, Nancy (Thom) Roberts, Debbie (Allen) Tetreault and Denise (Michael) Terry, her brother David (Donna) Bechard; her sons; Scott (Mary) Bleau, Kevin (Starr) Bleau, Shawn (Erin) Bleau, her daughter Lindsay (Anthony) Adorboe-Biko, along with her husband, father to their children, and friend Sherman Bleau; her grandchildren; Erin (Ian) Ducharme, Kayla, Brielle, JD, Lily, Gavin, Marley, Maddox, Olive, and Makafui; and many nieces and nephews. Pat was pre-deceased by her parents, Marcel in 1992 and Wanda in 2009. Arrangements are entrusted to the M. B. Clark Funeral Home in Rouses Point. Calling Hours will be held at their location on Lake Street on Saturday, September 23 from 10:00-12:00. A graveside service will be at St. Patrick’s Cemetery on Church Street in Rouses Point on Sunday, September 24 at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Pat’s name to the Clinton County JCEO or the Fitzpatrick Cancer Center.
