Julia ‘Junne’ A. Forcier

Julia ‘Junne’ A. Forcier, 87, of North Andover, MA, died peacefully on Saturday, December 4, 2010.

She was born to the late John and Anna (Lucas) Leso in Denmark, ME on March 30, 1923. She was one of twelve children. She married the late Rodney E. Watson in Denmark, ME and bore five children. He died in 1961. She later met and married the late Paul J. Forcier, and they took up residence in Lisbon Falls, ME and then later in Rochester, NH.

Junne was an active member in the Denmark Congregational Church and loved singing in the choir. Throughout her life she was an avid reader, word puzzle enthusiast, and poetry lover. She was enthusiastic about all sports but definitely was the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots number one fan. Her patriotism was highly spirited and contagious. Above all, however, she cherished her children.

Junne is survived by five children: Gary Watson, of Dundee, Oregon; Ronald Watson, of Hammond, Oregon; John Watson of Denmark, Maine; Mary Kirkpatrick of Tamworth, New Hampshire, and Kathleen Watson of Atkinson, New Hampshire. She also is survived by ten grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren.
