Aurore “Rose” Chmielecki (97) passed from this life into the arms of the Lord on February 1, 2022. Rose was born in Lowell, VT to John and Gladys (Sheltra) Voyer. She was one of 18 children raised on a dairy farm. At the age of 15, she left home to work at a hospital in Northampton, MA. A few years later she moved to Hartford, CT to work at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft testing airplane engines during World War II. It was there that she met Lucian, her husband of 75 years. From there, she was employed doing many different manufacturing jobs in the Hartford area until her retirement. After retirement, Lucian and Rose moved to Irasburg, VT. Rose’s greatest joy was walking long distances with her dog, while admiring the beauty of creation, and reciting the rosary. She was a kindhearted, thoughtful, compassionate, and a very devout Catholic, as well as an exceptional mother. She was predeceased by her husband Lucian Chmielecki, her daughter Marcia Hargreaves, and her son-in-law Kenneth Hargreaves. She is survived by three daughters and their spouses: Gloria and John Bickford of Greenwood, DE; Pauline and James Meade of Wethersfield, CT; and Mary and Craig MacMullen of Enfield, CT. She is also survived by three sons and their spouses: John and Patricia Chmielecki of Irasburg, VT, Joseph and Marion Chmielecki of Colchester, CT and Daniel and Cindy Chmielecki of Reidsville, NC. She also leaves behind 25 grandchildren and 32 great-grandchildren.
