TUULA BOUCHER Obituary

TUULA DIANA-LYNN BOUCHER (nee Kajorinne) July 21, 1957 - July 22, 2025
With broken hearts we sadly announce that Tuula Boucher (nee Kajorinne) passed away Tuesday, July 22, one day after her 68th birthday.

Tuula attended Hammarskjold High School and Confederation College, getting a degree and working in, the Travel and Tourism industry. She enjoyed meeting people, helping them make their arrangements, and most of all, the travel to different places in the world. She met and made friends with many people during this time.

Tuula always had a zest for life, was strong with "sisu" , knew what she wanted, and lived life her way. She loved to have a good laugh, enjoyed music, going to the bluesfest, the "cooking club" with the sisters back in the day, and was quite the movie buff she would've been an excellent critic! In spite of health challenges, she still tried to carry on with some flower gardening and swimming.

Pre-deceased by her mother, father, grandparents and many aunts, uncles and other relatives.

Left to mourn are her loving husband Richard, sister Leila (Chip Hansen, Tuija, Josh, Phoenix, Matti, Molly, Lee and Kiki, Kai and Bailey), brother Kevin (Karen, Curtis, Kristin, Gabriel, and Kate-Lyn, Steven, and Kyle) brother Carlo (Rochelle, Tanya and Bradley), "brother" Eric Lahtinen, many relatives and friends.

As per Tuula's wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no funeral. We ask that you remember her as we will, with a smile, and the knowledge that there will never be another Tuula, she was one of a kind.

I lost track of Tuula over the years but I am so saddened to learn of her passing. She was a great friend even though we are talking 45 years ago and always was happy, kind with a great sense of humor. We would gather at her family home on Strand Ave with her parents and siblings and had lots of laughs. Such a huge loss, rest in eternal peace Tuula and my sincere condolences to her husband Richard and extended family.

We are truly saddened to hear this.
We sure had some good times. The cooking sisters, sledding in Lappe and sooo many laughs over the years. You were always such a hoot!
Rest in peace dear girl
