Rachel Cloutier, 90

Yarmouth, ME – Rachel (Ducharme) Cloutier, died peacefully after a period of declining health on January 3, 2013 at Brentwood Nursing and Rehabilitation in Yarmouth, Maine. She was surrounded by her loving family. A special thanks to the staff at Brentwood.

Rachel was born February 26, 1922 in Amesbury, Massachusetts and was the sixth child of Conrad and Alida (Fredette) Ducharme. She married Charles Cloutier on December 15th, 1945. As a homemaker, she raised three children in Amesbury with her husband. As a talented artist, Rachel was as creative with paint and an easel as she was with a sewing machine and fabric. In retirement, she spent many winters in Sarasota, Florida.

She leaves behind her son Donald Cloutier and his wife Ann of Exeter, NH; her daughter Denise Bean and her husband Douglas of Yarmouth, ME; her daughter Cheryl Wood and her husband Michael of Stowe, MA. She also leaves her grandchildren: Nicole Childs and her husband Chris, Corey Cloutier and his wife Christina, Kathryn and Philip Bean, Sophia and Jack Wood; her great-grandchildren Anna Childs, Evan and Andrew Cloutier. She was predeceased by her husband Charles who died in 2007.

There will be a graveside service at St. Joseph Cemetery, Route 110, Amesbury, MA later this spring. Please visit www.lindquistfuneralhome.com to view a video collage of Rachel's life and to share your condolences, memories and tributes with her family.
