PASCOAG - Bleiweis, Annette, 100, died Tuesday, November 22, 2016 in Overlook Nursing Home, Pascoag.
Born in Harrisville, daughter of Wilfred and Rose (Cournoyer) Gaucher, she was one of five children. She was the proud wife of the late Louis Bleiweis, a former town councilman and long-time Burrillville Bureau Chief for the Woonsocket Call. They married in 1949, after courting secretly, in the home of Glenn and Millie Saltonstall, while waiting for Bleiweis, who had relocated from Mamaroneck, NY, to be accepted as a member of the community.
A graduate of Burrillville High School Class of 1935, Bleiweis herself was an independent business woman who operated the Carbutt Beauty Shoppe out of her home in Pascoag for many years. She served as Treasurer of the Pascoag Grammar School PTA, was a member of the Burrillville Lions Club, founded by her husband, and was an honorary grand marshal of the Memorial Day Parade. She was a parishioner of St. Joseph's Church.
She is survived by her only child, Maxine Bleiweis (Joel Lang) of Bridgeport, CT; grandchildren Alexa Roggeveen (Paul Hommersen) of Brampton, Ontario, and Erica Byrne (David Byrne) of Southington, CT, and great grandchildren Carolina, Benjamin and Gideon. She also leaves a sister, Irene Riley (James) of Harrisville and many nieces and nephews.
Her funeral, beginning with visitation from 9 to 10:30 AM, will be held on Saturday, Nov. 26, 2016 in the Boucher Funeral Home, 272 Sayles Avenue, Pascoag. with a Mass of Christian Burial at 11 AM in St. Joseph's Church, 183 Sayles Ave, Pascoag.

My sincere condolences to the Bleiweis Family,

It was an honor to know them both.

She and her husband were friends of my mother a long time ago. They were both wonderful couple who were the inspiration to many.

Dear Maxine
I was your paper boy when you were very young. Your Mom was always so nice , my Mother used to get her hair fixed at your Mothers shop, we often talked about what a sweet lady she was. Of course I knew your Dad even better, years later when I was on the Zoning board ,I would ask him for advice. Your Mon and Dad were great people.

Dear Maxine & Family-
I was privileged to meet your Mother 3-1/2 years ago at Overlook. She was delightful to talk with and was much loved by the staff and her friends there. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. -Kenneth Proudfoot

Dear Maxine and family, It is with great sadness that I learn of your dear mother's death. It is wonderful that she was able to live so well for so many years but I'm sure that it is a blessing for her to now be reunited with your wonderful Dad and other beloved family members. I know that you will all miss her just as we are saddened by the passing of one of the great ladies of Pascoag. I have the best memories of your Mom in the Beauty Shop where I had my hair shampooed and cut many times as a child. She was always so sweet and patient with children like me who had endless questions about all the equipment, bottles and jars that I found in her little shop. I know that she is mourned by all who knew her, she was a beloved figure in our little village. May Annette rest in eternal peace and bring comfort to all who loved her.
