Katherine Mary Bouchard

Katherine Mary Bouchard, born June 18, 1961, in Groton, Massachusetts, was a charismatic beacon of light for all who had the pleasure of knowing her. She lived her life with an irresistible blend of compassion and charisma, which endeared her to countless hearts. Her radiant smile and witty humor never failed to brighten the room, while her boundless loyalty and love made her a pillar of strength for her loved ones. Katherine passed away on November 16, 2025.

A resident of Pepperell, Massachusetts and graduated from North Middlesex regional High School. Katherine spent most of her career in the digital industry, serving as a dedicated customer service professional. Her compassion and problem-solving skills made her a favorite among her customers and colleagues alike. She was known for her ability to transform even the most challenging situations into opportunities for growth and learning. However, what mattered most to Katherine was not her professional achievements, but the love and companionship she shared with her lifelong partner, William Charles Bosley "Bo", who sadly predeceased her.

Katherine was truly one of a kind. Anyone who was lucky enough to know her would tell you she lit up every room she walked into. Her funny, joking personality, her ability to make people laugh, and the way she made everyone feel welcome were just a few of the things that made her so special. She would do anything for anyone—she was the type of person who would give you the shirt off her back without a second thought.

Katherine had a kind, loving, and deeply nurturing soul. She spent several years working in an independent living facility caring for the elderly, a job she adored and poured her whole heart into. Helping others came naturally to her; it wasn’t just something she did—it was who she was.

She loved taking spontaneous adventures, especially trips to the beach where she could soak up the warm sunshine. You could always find her by the pool sunning herself, but almost never in it. She cherished every moment outdoors and had a beautiful appreciation for the simple joys in life.

One of Katherine’s greatest joys was being a grandmother. She absolutely adored her grandchildren, especially her grandson Dylan. The two of them shared many unplanned trips to Maine and countless memories that will be cherished forever.

Katherine was an avid animal lover. In her younger years, she enjoyed going horseback riding with her daughter, Carrieanne—memories both of them have always held close to their hearts. She had a lifelong love of dogs and horses, and her gentle spirit drew animals and people alike to her.

Her sense of humor was unmatched. She loved playing practical jokes, especially on her nephews and her brother-in-law Dave. Her playful personality brought so much laughter to her family, and there will forever be stories retold about her humor and lightheartedness.

A lifelong Pepperell resident, Katherine was the heart of every gathering. She especially loved hosting parties and bringing people together. She touched so many lives with her kindness, generosity, and unmistakable spark.

Katherine is survived by her daughter, CarrieAnne Villandry and husband Ron; her parents, Peter and Ruth Bouchard; her sister, Susan Quinn (Bouchard) and her husband David; her grandchildren Dylan, Zachary, Olivia, Remington, Jaxson and Hailey-Ann; and her two nephews, Jeremy and Jerod. She is preceded in death by her brother, Peter Jr. Katherine’s compassionate spirit, loving heart, and enduring loyalty will be deeply missed but forever remembered by all those fortunate enough to have known her.

Katherine will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Her memory will continue to shine brightly through the countless lives she touched, the laughter she inspired, and the love she gave so freely.
