On the evening of July 17, 2022, Roberta Ann (Larocque) Medeiros, age 66 of Taunton Mass, crossed over the rainbow bridge to reunite with her beloved pets, who anxiously awaited her arrival with wagging tails and happy barks. Together they met with family that preceded her in death: grandparents Joseph and Christina Farias, Zephir and Grace Larocque, and father Robert W. Larocque. Her family that are survived by her are devastated by her passing but take comfort in knowing she is with those that she loved.
She is survived by her husband, Manuel Medeiros, Manny's daughters Michelle and Melanie and her son James, Manny's son Barry and his children Colton and Jocelyn, Roberta's mother Eleanor Larocque, her sister Christina Picioccio, her husband Edward, and their children Amanda, Melissa, and Stephanie, her brother Stephen Larocque, his wife Kelly, and their children Colin, Cameron, and Remy.
Roberta was an avid animal lover - we remember when she would take her dogs on car rides with her Akitas’ head sticking out through the sunroof. She was a passionate Terry Bradshaw and Pittsburgh Steelers fan – at one time she had a Steeler’s “Shrine” on her mantle. She also loved New Orleans, spiral staircases, and Nascar. The highlight of each year were her trips to Daytona Beach to see her friends.
While a local service will not be held a Celebration of Life event will be held in Daytona Beach in the future. In lieu of flowers, donations in Roberta’s name can be made to The Humane Society at https://www.humanesociety.org/.
Roberta was a special person who will live in our hearts forever and will be greatly missed by all.
