Julia A Larrabee

Julia A Larrabee died peacefully in her sleep September 26, 2023 at the age of 95. She was born in So. Windham, Maine on October 31,1927. Julia began working in her teenage years and worked all the way through the mid 80’s off and on in different types of jobs at places including a convenience store in south Windham, S.D Warren, and GTE Sylvania. Family was quite important to her which made it easy for her to leave her jobs to volunteer at her youngest son’s school and spend years traveling around the world for her husband’s work. From 1974-1979 they lived in Iran for 5 ½ years, leaving just before a revolution. Upon her return she began working as a secretary at Depot Energy, which was Tally’s (her brother in law) company. She enjoyed many hobbies including cooking, baking, knitting and crocheting. Her most treasured job/hobby was caring for her children and grandchildren. She made many wonderful memories with her family during the holiday’s making Christmas cookies, candies, fudge and pies. She loved teaching her grandchildren how to play her electric organ, which is now being played by her great grandchildren. For many years she took pride in her garden and would grow vegetables for her family and local families in need. She would donate vegetables and her baked goods to the local church to help support her community. If you were around her much, you probably heard her favorite saying, “If you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say anything at all.” Her oldest granddaughter practices this often. Julia is survived by her son Donald Larrabee Jr, her brother John Edward Pecoraro, her sister in law Mary Pecoraro (Gus), her grandchildren Nathan Fifield, Anna (Jordan) Johnson, Kayla (Phil) Abbott, Agostino “AJ” Samson, Sara (Drew) Williston, Rolanda (John) Stevens, Amanda (David) Olivieri, Maria Commoss and great grandchildren, Julia & JD Johnson, Jackson, Claire, & Tucker Stevens and Sophia & Mia Olivieri, as well as her nieces Angel, Susan, Carmen, Carmelle & Ann Beth and nephews Geno, Christopher, Johnny, Joe, Mike, Joseph, Frank and Will.
