Therese M. Boucher

Therese (nee Boudreau) Boucher, 94, of Meredith died peacefully, at home, on October 20, 2022, after a long period of declining health. Therese was born in Trois Rivieres, Quebec on July 23, 1928, and married Roland Boucher in 1954. The early years of her marriage were spent in Toronto, Ontario, where she taught English, French, and Physical Education. The next stop for the young couple was Montreal, Quebec, where Therese began to raise her family. Roland's work brought the family to the United States, and Therese became an American citizen in 1965. Therese felt very strongly that if you were making a life in the US, you should become a citizen, and vote.

Therese and Roland raised their 5 children in Chelmsford, MA, where Therese was the Athletic Director at Notre Dame Academy, Tyngsboro, MA, for 19 years. She introduced many students to basketball and tennis, two of her favorite sports. Roland and Therese retired to their beloved home by the lake in Meredith, NH in 1992, where she could swim, golf, play tennis, ski and skate with her family. Therese shared her love of all sports and games with her children and grandchildren.

Therese's family was at the center of her life. She especially loved playing with her younger grandchildren, and more recently, her great grandchildren. Therese is survived by her 5 children, 13 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. Ann/Philip Glover (Eric & Liz), Denise/Paul Desrochers (Renee/Matt O'Hearn, Kevin/Colleen Desrochers, Carolyn/Justin Perry, Daniel Desrochers), Martin/Heather Boucher (Matthew, Alex and Jackie), Francine/Brendan Reese (Brian & Dana) and Michelle Maffeo (Michael & Makayla). Her husband, and her three siblings predeceased her.

The family would like to thank the Lakes Region VNA hospice team, Live Free Home Health Care, Interlake Community Caregivers, the St. Charles Borromeo community, and Pauline Pope for all the love, friendship, and care provided to Therese throughout the past several years. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Charles Borromeo Church, Interlake Community Caregivers, or the Lakes Region VNA hospice team.
