Carol Provencher Obituary
PAWTUCKET - Carol A. Provencher passed away peacefully on May 2, 2025 at The Holiday Retirement Home, Manville.
Born on March 1, 1946, in Providence, she was the daughter of the late Richard and Louisa (Blanchette) Provencher.
Carol worked many years at the Flying Shuttle in Pawtucket and also attended the Leon Matthieu Senior Center, Pawtucket for several years.
She was an avid Elvis Presley fan and had an extensive collection of Elvis memorabilia including clothing, sheets, and blankets, pins, signs, and even a dancing Elvis clock. She enjoyed arts and crafts and making greeting cards for her family for birthdays and holidays.
