The family of Reinette Bouffard is mourning her sudden and untimely death. Reinette passed away peacefully Thursday evening, March 15, 2007, at NVRH surrounded by her family. Born in St. Johnsbury on Aug. 31, 1936, Reinette grew up on Clark's Avenue with her parents, the late Ovila and Irene (Landry) Gervais and her late sister Joanne. She graduated from Mt. St. Joseph's Catholic school at the top of her class. In her teens she worked at Landry's Drugstore which was founded by her grandfather, Frank Landry. She went on to work for the telephone company as a switchboard operator after graduation. Her husband Louis passed away Dec. 7, 2004. They met in graded school and became sweethearts, marrying in 1957. They raised their family of six children at their Pearl Street home. Reinette devoted her life to her husband, children and her grandchildren. Her family reflects how all their friends felt welcomed at their home. She had a passion for gardening, decorating, cooking, and most especially supporting all her family's sporting events. She will be sadly missed by all. Reinette is survived by her six children: Ronald, Michael, Andre and his wife Margaret, Diane Morey and her husband Allen, Maurice "Muzzy," and Joanne Shumbo and her husband Joseph. She is also survived by 11 grandchildren: Jennifer, Julian, April, Riley, Christine, Michelle, Olivia, Michael, Joseph, Tucker, and Andre Jr. She loved her dog Cocoa and referred to her as her "little angel." Her funeral Mass will be celebrated Monday, March 19, at 11 a.m. at St. John the Evangelist Church. Burial will be at a later date at Mt. Calvary Cemetery. Visiting hours will be held Sunday from 2-5 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions be directed to The Good Shepherd Foundation, P.O. Box 146, St. Johnsbury, VT 05819.
