CELLIE BOLDUC
Marcelle "Cellie" Bolduc (Gauthier), 80, of Manchester, died after a short illness, on April 14, 2012, in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, with her family by her side.
Cellie was born in Manchester, NH, on April 20, 1931, the daughter of the late Fabio and Leoda (Danault) Gauthier. She was a graduate of St. George and Central High Schools, and was a lifetime resident of Manchester, spending the winter during her retirement years in Florida.
She had a career as a businesswoman - selling Fashion Two-Twenty/Lady Finelle and then as a floral designer for her own business, Silks and Petals. She was also a volunteer and first professional manager of the CMC Gift Shop and past president and member of the Quota Club prior to her retirement.
Cellie enjoyed participating in Red Hatter activities, going out with friends, shopping with her daughter, and spending winters in Florida where she made many friends.
She had a natural talent in her singing ability, and shared her gift by
singing at weddings, funerals, variety shows, and the Women's Spirit Song group.
During her life, she was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and homemaker. Holidays with her family were most special to her.
Her granddaughters and great-granddaughters held a special place in her heart, and she showered them with her love, praise, and gifts on many occasions. She also enjoyed keeping up with the latest fashions, and everyone who knew her always saw her with a complete ensemble, including makeup and jewelry.
