Paul Boucher Obituary

Paul Edward Boucher, 77, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on March 16, 2018 in Raleigh, NC. Paul was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend. Paul was born in Manchester, NH on February 27, 1941, to Leon and Cecile Ledoux Boucher. He graduated from Bishop Bradley High School in 1959.

Paul E. Boucher and Betty R. Mathews were married in 1963. They celebrated 55 years of marriage, living in Manchester and Merrimack, NH before moving to Raleigh, NC in 1992.

Paul is survived by his loving wife Betty R. Mathews Boucher; his adoring daughters, Lisa Frisella and husband Richard of Zebulon, NC, Lori Dery of Raleigh, NC and Kristi McKeown and husband Robert of Raleigh, NC; grandchildren, Brittani Frisella (Harrison Adams), Phillip Frisella (Sarah Jordan), Caleb Dery, Spencer McKeown, Christine Blaisdell (Matt) and Brandi Mobley; great-grandchildren, Grace Wertz, Jay Mobley, and Lane Adams; his brother, Richard Boucher (Barbara); sisters Denise Elaine Koyianis (Bob Shaw), Michelle Tellier (Bob); sisters-in-law Madeline Boucher, Annette Boucher and Sharon Cronin (Bob). He was blessed to have numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family.

Paul was preceded in death by his parents Leon and Cecile Boucher, his sister Rita Gagne, brothers Gerry Boucher, Raymond Boucher, brother-in-law Richard Gagne, mother-in-law and husband Beatrice Mathews Dahl and Henry Dahl, and sister-in-law Bonnie Ranfos.

Paul had a deep love for his family, card games, time at the beach, and golf. Having family dinners was always his favorite way to spend his time.

The family would like to thank the caregivers at Transitions LifeCare of Raleigh, who made his journey to Heaven so peaceful.

A private service will be held for immediate family. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial contributions be made to Transitions LifeCare, 200 Hospice Circle, Raleigh, NC 27607.

Still thinking of you and remembering the time you sported a beard which made you look like trapper John. Hope you all all having living moments watching the family continue to grow every day.

Dear brother, I know we have been separated by miles, but you and all my sisters and brothers, nieces and nephews and all their children, will always be in my heart. I will miss your contagious laughter and how you looked like Pernell Roberts at one time. I know you will be in good company with mom and dad as well as two of your other brothers and oldest sister in heaven. P.S. Thank you for being my surrogate father and walking me down the aisle. Love you dear brother. See you later.
