HOLDEN – Dianne B. (Sansoucy) Thibeault, 62, formerly of Worcester, passed away peacefully in her sleep at home on Christmas morning, Sunday, December 25, 2016. She was born in Worcester and raised in the Tatnuck section of the city graduating from Doherty Memorial High School in 1972.

They were married on May 15, 1983 at Christ the King Church and lived in Worcester before moving to Holden in 1990. Dianne worked at Fallon Clinic in Worcester for several years and was a stay at home mom during her children’s formative years.

Dianne was a talented quilter and seamstress and was a member for many years of “The Stitch and Bitch Club,” which consisted of several of her life-long childhood and newer friends and close relatives. They not only discussed their recent in-progress works of art, but escaped semi-annually to their ladies weekends away to Cape Cod and each other’s homes where they were free to chat about almost anything.

Her life was centered on family, faith and friendship. Dianne was an active member of St. Francis Episcopal Church in Holden serving on the Alter Guild, Memorial Garden and Stewardship Committees.
