Augusta: Celeste Bouchard has gone to be with her Lord and Savior on July 7, 2024. She was born February 10, 1956, at the Sisters Hospital in Waterville, Maine. Celeste loved her family and her special lifetime friends, Sally, Linda, and Diane and her special cousin Collette. They all loved her. She supported her sister, Linda, through many years of heartaches with her son. "Cel" was her sister and her friend. Celeste was generous, kind, and endured in faith and courage. Celeste loved animals and rescued and cared for many cats and two special iguanas. May she be reunited with her favorite cat Dustin James and her Mom and Dad. She missed them all so very much. Celeste leaves behind her sister Linda Laverdiere and her nephew and godchild Jason LaVerdiere, many cousins and friends. She was educated at Notre Dame Catholic School and graduated from Mt. Merci Academy in 1974. She attended Mid State College and graduated from Barbizon in Boston Massachusetts. Her working history included Boothby& Bartlett Insurance Company, T-Mobile, and most recent, Sunset Home in Waterville as a receptionist. She truly enjoyed her last years of employment at Sunset, prior to her falls and surgeries that led to her 18-month journey of hospitalization at Maine General, Mass General Hospital and to Augusta Health and Rehab where she was a patient for 9 months. Special thanks to Pastor Brent, Pastor Tom at Faith Evangelical Free Church, the staff at Maine General Hospital & Mass General Hospital, and Augusta Health and Rehabilitation for their excellent care and support. Rest well my sweet sister, I will forever love and miss you until we meet again.
