SPENCER: Cecile M. (Nobert) Bellefeuille 93, of Sherman Grove, died peacefully Monday, June 18 at The Meadows of Leicester Rehab after a fall.

Cecile was born in Lowell, the daughter of Alphonse and Lucie (Leboeuf) Nobert and moved to Spencer in the 1950’s.
She was a shoeworker who later became known as “Mrs. Softee”, driving around Spencer with her ice cream truck while the children waited patiently to hear the “Mr. Softee” jingle. She later owned Cecile’s Diner in Leicester.
