Heidi Bouchard

Heidi (Williams) Bouchard, 48, Of Groton, MA, died Tuesday, November 13th, following a sudden illness, at Tufts Medical Center in Boston.

Daughter of the late Bernard and Rosalie Williams, she was born in Groton, MA on September 20, 1970, and was raised in Pepperell. Heidi lived in Morgan Hills, California before returning home to Pepperell, eventually making Groton her home where she has lived for nearly ten years.

Despite facing many challenges in her life, including an illness that left her disabled a decade before her death, Heidi remained independent and endlessly optimistic. Her strong faith in God and humanity shone through in her positive spirit for life. She was never far from her loyal best friend and companion, her service dog, Monkey. Heidi will be missed by her family and many friends whose lives she touched with her great kindness.
