    CASTINE -- Sara Katherine Petterson Brouillard, 55, of Castine passed peacefully at Eastern Maine Medical Center on Wednesday, March 21, 2007, following a brief, courageous battle with cancer and a long and aggravating marriage to Paul Brouillard.
     Sara was born July 22, 1951, in New Haven, Conn., to Joseph F. and Susanna D. Petterson. Sara moved to Castine when she was 6 months old. She attended The Adams School in Castine, St. Juliens School in Portugal, and graduated from Sumner High School in Sullivan. Sara attended Keuka College in the finger lakes of New York, where she graduated with a BA in Sociology in 1973.
     After graduating from Keuka, Sara lived in Petaluma, California, Hawaii, and then returned to Castine where she met and married Paul E. Brouillard in June of 1981.
     Over the last 25 years, Sara and Paul restored many buildings and started several businesses in the area, including The Castine Harbor Lodge, which they have run for the last 17 years. Sara was very active in her children's lives and in the community. Amazingly, she also made time for her beautiful gardens and to travel with her family, both of which she took great pleasure in.
     Sara is survived by her husband, her three daughters and two grandsons, her parents, two brothers and four sisters, and many nieces, nephews and in-laws.
     Funeral services for Sara Brouillard will be held on Friday, March 30, at 3 p.m. at the Main Street Trinitarian Church in Castine, with a reception to follow at The Castine Harbor Lodge.
