CUMBERLAND

Edouard R. Bouchard, 85, of Cumberland passed away on Monday April 22, 2024 at Hope Hospice in Providence.  He was the husband of Elaine (Thibeault) Bouchard, and they had been married for the past 63 years.

Born in Central Falls, he was the son of the late Alfred and Blanche (Larocque) Bouchard.  He resided in Cumberland for most of his life.

Mr. Bouchard was a United States  Navy Veteran, serving his country honorably and faithfully until he was honorably discharged.

Edouard was employed as an Order Entry Manager for Balfour for 23 years until his retirement.

Ed, as he was affectionately known, enjoyed playing golf, was a talented Trumpet player for the Notre Dame Crusaders, and was a dedicated and passionate New England Patriots and Boston Bruins fan.   But most of all he loved spending time with his family, and attending family sporting functions was a priority.

In addition to his wife, he leaves his children, Debra Doire and her husband Rene of Cumberland, Mark Bouchard and his wife Lisa of Cumberland; his two grandchildren, Andrew Bouchard and his wife Jessica of Cumberland, and Staci Bouchard and her fiancé Christopher Giles of North Smithfield; his three great-grandchildren, Lydia, Noah and Owen Bouchard; and his brother-in-law Robert Thibeault.  He was the brother of the late Rita Boucher, Alfred Bouchard and Rene Bouchard.

Relatives and friends are kindly invited to Ed's Life Celebration to be held with Visiting Hours on Thursday, April 25, 2024 from 4 to 7 PM.  A prayer service will be held at 6:30 PM.   Burial will take place on Friday, April 26, 2024 with full military honors at 12 NOON at Resurrection Cemetery, West Wrentham Road, Cumberland.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to Hope Health, 1085 North Main Street, Providence, RI 02904.
