Charlene Robichaud

Charlene Robichaud, a lifelong resident of Gardner, Massachusetts, until her recent years in Dracut, passed away on December 16, 2025. 

She was born on June 22, 1949, in Gardner. She was a generous soul who lived a life of service, deeply rooted in her faith. Her compassionate nature endeared her to many and left a lasting impact on all who knew her.

Charlene dedicated her professional life to banking, where her loyalty and commitment led her to ascend to the position of manager. Her skills and dedication were also recognized in the Law industry, where she served in the collection department. Known for her strong work ethic and exceptional leadership abilities, Charlene was an inspiring figure to many. Her journey reminds us of the quote, "As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."

Never married, she entered the Presentation of Mary Sisters. She entered the Marist Sisters, where she was a novice. She did missionary work in Tennessee. She had to leave due to health issues. Charlene found solace and purpose in her faith, which guided her in every facet of her life. Her generosity extended beyond her professional life, as she was always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. She was the pillar of strength for her family and friends, and her unwavering faith was her compass in life.

Charlene was preceded in death by her loving parents, Charles and Olive (Manseau) Robichaud.

She leaves her friend, Juliette McDonald of Dracut, two sisters, Annette M. Robichaud and Theresa Miller, both of Gardner; a brother, Robert C. Robichaud of Milford, MA.

In closing, we remember Charlene as a beacon of light, a pillar of strength, and a testament to unwavering faith. Her legacy of generosity, compassion, and loyalty will live on in the hearts of those she touched.
