Thomas Chartier Obituary
August 4, 1947 - December 27, 2023
Bellingham, Washington - Thomas A. Chartier, age 76, of Bellingham, Washington passed away peacefully on December 27, 2023. Tom is survived by his wife Judy G. Chartier, son Marc Chartier (Sara) of Philadelphia, daughter Renee Chartier (Brian Wallace) of Oak Harbor, grandson George Chartier and granddaughter Raylin Lee Wallace. Tom was preceded in death by both his parents and with his first grandchild, Olivia Louise in 2010.
Tom was born and raised in Bellingham, WA on August 4, 1947 to Rachalle and George A. Chartier. He attended schools in Bellingham and Skagit County. Tom went to work for Georgia Pacific September of 1966, a millwright by trade with the latter years as the vibration analyst until GP's closure in 2007. After retirement, Tom spent his time woodworking, and was a proud member of two car clubs, Skagit Old Car Club and Whatcom County Cruisers. Tom also went on many adventures traveling with Judy. Some of his favorites were traveling to locations where he could scratch off his bucket list of places such as the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, Jamaica, a family cruise to Alaska, and to the Maine coast, renting a car in Boston with friends, and visiting as many lighthouses along the way.
A Celebration of Life for Tom will be held on Saturday, March 9, 2024 at the Bellingham Ferry Terminal at 1:00.

Our deepest sympathies and love to Judy, Marc, and Renee . There are countless good memories over the years with Uncle Tom during holidays at the grandparents´ house in Burlington, visits up to Bellingham, and any number of family gatherings whether back East or in the Northwest . Uncle Tom exuded kindness and generosity and regardless the circumstance, his excessively good nature never failed to elevate the spirits of those around him.
