On Saturday November 29, 2025 the Lord took Paulette D. LaCoursiere into his arms and welcomed her to heaven at the age of 74. For the last six years, Paulette ferociously battled several types of cancer and survived many other trials during her life.

Born in Waterbury on July 16, 1951, she was the daughter of the late Joseph and Shirley (Burr) LaCoursiere. She graduated from Wilby High School. She worked in security for Allied Universal and in 2002 was stationed at Somers Thin Strip in Waterbury which later became Wieland Rolled Products NA.

Paulette was a very faithful Catholic and parishioner of the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. She loved doves and her pets. She will always be remembered for her love of animals and helping those in need. She fought her illnesses for long in order to be there for her grandchildren that she loved so much.

Paulette is survived by her sons Jason Rosa of Watertown and Craig Rosa and his wife Rosemary Rosa of Barre, VT, and her grandchildren Violet, Winter and Wilder Rosa. She also leaves two brothers Donald and James, several nieces and nephews, and many dear friends including Lindsey and Sandy. Paulette was predeceased by her sister Diane LaCoursiere.

Paulette's funeral will be on Tuesday December 9, 2025, at 9 AM from Woodtick Memorial 420 Woodtick Rd in Wolcott to The Basilica of The Immaculate Conception in Waterbury for Mass at 10 AM. Burial will follow in New Pine Grove Cemetery. Calling hours are Monday from 5 to 7 PM.
