She loved to laugh and sing and was comforted by her strong catholic faith. The last year and a half of her life she lived at Youville Place where she was a favorite of the staff because of her sweet, agreeable nature. Special thanks to the staff at the Courtyard at Youville and to long-term caregivers, Nora Turchi and Mary Conneely who helped her to stay living in her beloved home as long as possible with her illness. She is survived by her daughter, Julie Charrette, her four grandchildren: Sam Charrette, Regan, Ryan and Rachel Beers and her treasured lifelong "friendo," Maureen Thibodeau.
