Paula Jean Bouchard

Paula Jean (Burke) Bouchard, passed away peacefully on March 8, 2025, in Manchester, NH. Born on November 19, 1953, in Haverhill, MA, she was the cherished daughter of Florence and Robert Burke.

Paula was a devoted wife to her partner, Dora Bouchard, whom she married on March 9, 2002, in Vermont. Paula was not only a great wife but also an incredible mother and the proudest grandmother one could imagine. Her family remembers her as a beacon of joy; her smile and laughter had the remarkable ability to light up any room. It did not matter whether you were a lifelong friend or a new acquaintance; Paula welcomed all with open arms, placing each person in her heart, always keeping them there through her unwavering care and concern. She had a unique gift for making everyone feel valued and cherished.

Paula lived her life with great enthusiasm and a spirit that inspired those around her. She had an extraordinary capacity for love, always thinking of others, worrying for them, and showering them with affection. Her passing leaves a profound void, as she still had so much love left to give, yet we take comfort in the belief that she now shines as an angel, watching over all whom she has touched throughout her life.

Paula is survived by her beloved wife, Dora Bouchard, children: her oldest son, Michael Brown, and his wife, Amanda, along with their three children, Joey Diagneault, Jake Brown, and Jackie Brown; her youngest son, Mark Brown, and his wife, Jamie, with their two sons, Cameron Brown and Gage Brown. She is also survived by her older sister, Pam Terroux, her husband Paul, and their two children, Christopher and Timothy.

RIP Mom. Until one day we meet again in the skies above. 

As we remember Paula, we celebrate the deeply impactful life she led and the love she spread to those around her. Her memory will forever live on in the hearts of her family and friends.
