Susan Rae Fournier

AUBURN – Susan Rae Fournier, 70, formerly of Buckfield, passed away on June 16, at Bolster Heights Residential Center, where she had been a resident for the past four years.

She was born on Nov. 19, 1950, the daughter of Leslie and Edith (Hodge) Douglass and educated in Buckfield schools, graduating in 1969. She married the love of her life, Theodore Fournier Jr. in 1978 and built a wonderful family with him until his passing in 2005.

Susan lived for fun times with family and friends. Nothing brought her greater joy than her family, especially going to her grandchildren’s events and games. Favorite pastimes were beano, cards and dice games but especially camping, notably the years spent as a seasonal at Martin’s Stream Campground, where they made lifelong friends.

Susan wore many hats through the years. She spent time working for Maine Apple Growers, Walmart, Community Concepts, McDonald’s and most importantly raising five children.

Susan is predeceased by her parents; three siblings; husband; and youngest child, Matthew.

She is survived by four children, Sherry Gagne and husband Bill, Tammy Deegan and fiancé Brendan, Doug Fournier and wife Stacy, and TJ Fournier and wife Alicia; 19 grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. She is also survived by two brothers Leslie and Dan and one sister, Sandy.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, July 10, at Calvary Baptist Church in Turner at 3 p.m. with reception to follow.
