Barbara Bouffard

FARMINGTON – Barbara Bouffard, 95, formerly of Rumford, peacefully passed away Saturday, March 12, 2022 at the Pierce House in Farmington.

Born in Rumford on August 8, 1926, she was the daughter of Albert and Nellie (Howe) Roche.

She was a graduate of Stephens High School, class of 1944 where she excelled in sports and was a cheerleader. She was married to Albert Bouffard who died Nov. 9, 1981.

In the 1950s she was Head Majorette for the LeParesseux Club Drum Corps. She also worked part time for the Little Folks Shop in downtown Rumford and Emery’s Fashions in Farmington. Barbara was co-owner of Bouffard’s Furniture Store of Rumford with her two daughters.

Mom enjoyed cooking, especially making her famous “Aunt Barbara’s Whoopie Pies”. She loved needlepointing, jigsaw puzzles, crosswords puzzles, and any chance she could get to go to Las Vegas, Atlantic City, or Foxwoods. She loved the slot machines. Most of all, she loved her family.

Barbara is survived by her two daughters, Connie Morgan (Bob) and Joan Bouffard Folsom; grandchildren Troy Morgan and Barbara Morgan.

She was predeceased by her husband, Albert; son, Tim, son-in-law, Jim Folsom; and “best friend” cousin, Bunny Jarvis.
