Theresa L. Bourbeau

   Theresa L. “Terry” (Bouchard) Bourbeau, 86, of Bedford, died October 4, 2022 at her home after a period of declining health.

   She was born in Manchester on May 28, 1936 to Charles and Marie (Demers) Bouchard.  She was a lifelong resident of the Manchester area.

   Terry graduated from the Notre Dame Hospital School of Nursing and became licensed as a registered nurse.  She practiced nursing at Notre Dame Hospital/Catholic Medical Center for 27 years as an orthopedic nurse while raising four children.

   Although she was passionate about being a nurse, her true passion was being “Grammy”.  She loved spending time with her family and creating wonderful memories with her grandchildren and great grandchildren, especially at the holidays and during family vacations.

   In her early retirement, Terry enjoyed traveling with her husband to Europe, the islands, Florida and the west coast.  She was also known for her collection of fashionable designer handbags, her quick smile and sense of humor.
