Simone L. Squiers

Greenville - Simone L. (Boucher) Squiers, 86, passed away peacefully October 28, 2024, at Northern Light CA Dean Hospital in Greenville with her loving family by her side. She was born December 1, 1937, in St. Lucie, Quebec, the daughter of Auguste and Marie-Anne (Poulin) Boucher. Simone grew up in Quebec until she moved to Greenville in the sixth grade without being able to speak any English. She married Maxim "Mickey" Squiers April 13, 1966, and they spent 49 wonderful years together. Simone really embraced being the wife of the Chief of police and always had baked goods and hot coffee for the officers at any hour. Family was most important to Simone. She loved being a wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was a daycare provider for many children over the years and she thought the world of all "her" kids and loved them deeply. They called her "Mone". Simone had a love for "her" dog, Brody. They had a special bond and Brody would often just sit with his "Grammy" and she smiled as she would pat him.
Simone is survived by her two children, Suanne Thibeault and Samuel Squiers and his wife, Amanda; grandchildren, Brandon, Emily, and Damian; great-granddaughter, Elsie Mae; five sisters, Yoland Graham, Jeanine Plourde, Doris Belmont, Rachel Hayes, and Louisanne Blanchet; and several nieces and nephews. In addition to her beloved husband, Mickey, Simone was predeceased by her parents; sister, Gisele Mathieu; and brother, Marie Louis Boucher.
