Viola Williams Beauchemin, 98

West Brookfield - Viola Williams Beauchemin passed away February 1, 2016 at the age of 98.

Born Viola Elizabeth Porter in 1917, she was the oldest of five, 2 brothers and 2 sisters who all passed on before her. She was widowed twice. First husband of 25 years Walter Williams died in 1964, second husband of 14 years, Austin Beauchemin died in 1995. She leaves 2 daughters, Lorraine, wife of Richard Cobiski (who was like a son) and Carolyn Puzo with whom she lived. She also leaves 3 grandsons (who she adored) Rick, Brian and David, 10 great grandchildren, several nieces and nephews and the extended family of her second husband. 1st grandson, Richard Cobiski, Jr., husband of Phyllis and father of Jason, Natalie wife of Jacob Karlson & Laurie. 2nd grandson, Brian Cobiski, husband of Beth and father to Justin & Jacob and father of Nathan & Allison. 3rd grandson, David Puzo, husband of Maryann and father of Christina wife of Anthony Cotrupi, Angela & Rocky.

Viola was a hard worker, she especially loved her job at Worcester City Hospital. Like so many of us, she had to face some trials, and through them all loved her family deeply. But the best thing that can be said about her is that she accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as her personal Savior in 1994 and so we have the assurance that she will be at home in heaven. No more pain. No more sorrow. No more tears. Praise the Lord!!!

A special thank you to Quaboag Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing Center, her home for the last 18 months.
