Elsie Turner Boucher, 67, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend, passed away on Aug. 9. Born in Powhatan, Va., she relocated to Maine in the late 1960s and enjoyed a full life in Augusta and Windsor for many years before moving to New Harbor.
Elsie, together with her husband Lou, owned and operated a successful business for 30 years in Augusta while raising their family.

Stark and partner Jeffrey Kuenle, Debora Boucher and fiancé James Alley, and James Boucher and wife Ann; grandchildren, Katelynn, Nathan, Nicole, Ashley, Emily, and Alexander; great-grandchildren, Alphonse and Elijah; sister, Ann Elliott; and best friend, Pam Powell.
