Lillian Marie Gauthier, age 88, passed away peacefully at home on August 14, 2020 in the loving care of her family. God has a purpose for me no one else can fulfill. She was an active member of Mary, Mother of Hope Church. Lillian loved to make puzzles, play pitch and do crafts. Lillian would remind us “it is what it is”. She leaves behind a loving son Jean Paul Gauthier, five loving daughters Denise Turgeon, Connie Lynch, Laurie Antaya, Janet Brewster, Susan Towle, twelve cherished grandchildren, nine treasured great grandchildren and a loving sister Theresa Menard. We are grateful for the loving care of Lillian given by the Baystate Hospice Staff. A Graveside Service will be held on Thursday, August 20, 2020 at 10 am at St Rose de Lima Cemetery on Olsen St. in Chicopee. In Lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Baystate Health Home and Hospice 30 Capital Drive West Springfield, MA 01089.
