Obituary: Barbara Boucher, Naugatuck Food Bank Volunteer

Mrs. Barbara Ann (Lovely) Boucher, of Naugatuck, was called home on Saturday Jan. 4, 2014. She was the wife of Conrad H. Boucher. 

She was born in Biddeford, Maine, and in 1961 moved to Connecticut, where she met and married Conrad three years later. In recent years, she enjoyed walking, reading spiritual books, UCONN women’s basketball and going to A.A. meetings. She was also involved in many community projects over the years, including the Naugatuck Food Bank and the Toy Sale sponsored by the Ecumenical Conference of Churches.

Barbara loved to laugh, especially at herself and Conrad and they had a good life together. They were blessed with two daughters, Robin and her significant other, John Paffrey of Plymouth, Mass., and Debbie Lovely and her partner, Carol Feiden of New Haven.

Barbara loved trees and requested that her family spread her ashes under a large Maple tree and offer a simple prayer of thanksgiving for her life which they will do at their convenience. The Alderson Funeral Home of Naugatuck, 201 Meadow St. is assisting the family with the arrangements.

Please celebrate Barbara’s life by admiring a tree or remembering to laugh at least once a day. If desired, memorial contributions may be made to Friends of the New Haven Animal Shelter, (FNHAS), Brewery Street Station, P.O. Box 9056, New Haven, 06532-9056; or the American Cancer Society, 825 Brook St., I-91 Tech. Center, Rocky Hill, CT 06067-3045.
