Margaret Lapointe, of Cottonwood, Arizona, passed away peacefully on Sunday, June 7, 2026.
Born in St. Albans, Vermont, on October 23, 1936, Margaret was the daughter of Donat and Laurette Laroche. She attended Holy Angels School and graduated from Commercial High.
Margaret shared 67 beautiful years of marriage with her devoted husband, Ronald Lapointe from Jerico Vermont. Together, they raised three children: Jacqueline Kolb (James), John Lapointe (Linda), and Paul Lapointe. She loved spending time on their family dairy farm in Sheldon, Vermont. In 1978, she and Ronald moved the family to Phoenix, Arizona, where they continued to build their life together.
Margaret filled her life with joy, from dancing and playing card games to baking, camping, and crafting. But her truest happiness came from her family. She loved her children and grandchildren deeply, treasuring every moment spent watching them grow and making memories together. Faith and family were the center of Margaret’s world. Blessed with a gentle nature and a kind heart, she always saw the best in people and eagerly helped anyone in need. Above all, Margaret was a mother. Her greatest goal was to build a happy, loving home—a safe haven where everyone felt welcomed, cared for, and loved.
Margaret is survived by her Husband, Ronald Lapointe; children, Jacqueline Kolb (James), John Lapointe (Linda), and Paul Lapointe; her 5 grandchildren, Kayla (Eric), Chelsey (Kile), Danica (Hugo), Cole, and Cameron; 10 great grandchildren and many loving friends.
Margaret is preceded in death by her parents Donat and Laurette Laroche and her brothers Robert and Raymond Laroche.
In honor of Margaret’s giving spirit, the family asks that you please consider donating to Maggie’s Hospice 203 S. Candy Lane #12a Cottonwood, AZ 86326.
