NATICK – After nearly 74 years of marriage, Alphie R Ouellette, 93 and Barbara F Ouellette, 93, of Sherborn passed away peacefully June 13, 2022, and July 23, 2022, respectively, at home.

Alphie R Ouellette was born on July 30, 1928, to Joseph and Delia of Fort Kent, ME.

He served his country in the Korean war and was honorably discharged as a disabled veteran in 1953.

Alphie retired from R.H. Long Motor Sales after working for 40 years, most of which he was manager of the auto body shop.

Alphie enjoyed various hobbies, including owning and operating his own plane after attaining his private pilot license, operating heavy equipment, and meticulously maintaining his property. Alphie most loved spending time with family.

Barbara F. (Turnbull) Ouellette was born on January 1, 1929, to Harold and Mabel Turnbull of Cochituate, MA.

She was a graduate of Wayland High School Class of 1946. Barbara was dedicated to caring for her home and family. After raising her three children, she lovingly cared for her grandchildren as if they were her own. Barbara was an avid reader. When not busy tending to the needs of the family, she could be found sitting quietly in her chair reading the latest novel. As time went by, it was getting more difficult to find a title on the shelf that she had not already read. She loved a good story.

Alphie and Barbara were united in marriage on September 12, 1948. They lived in Natick before settling in Sherborn in 1954. In their later years they called Deerfield Beach, FL home for part of the year as well.

They were the proud parents of Alan, deceased, (June) of Milford, Curtis (Sheila) of Sherborn and Cathy (John, deceased) Bernardi of Holliston. They were the loving grandparents of Christopher (Denise) Bernardi, Shannon (John) Deletti, Alan Ouellette, Jr., and Ryan Ouellette. They were the loving Great-Grandparents of Cole and Drew Deletti and Chloe and Ellie Bernardi.

Barbara is survived by her sisters, Charlotte King, and Delphine Boudreau.

Alphie was predeceased by his parents and eight siblings. Barbara was predeceased by her parents and her brother, Harold.

Services were held privately at Pinehill Cemetery and entrusted to the care of Norton Funeral Home, 53 Beech Street, Framingham.
