Lucille Marie Boucher, 81, a member of the Sisters of Providence, who worked at the Anchorage hospital for a quartercentury, died May 4 in Seattle. A Rosary was held in the chapel of St. Joseph Residence in Seattle. A Mass of Resurrection was offered followed by interment at Calvary Cemetery in Seattle.
Sister Boucher was born Nov. 2, 1908, in Notre Dame du Portage, Riviere du Loup, Quebec, Canada. She was the youngest of 14 children born to Arthur and Catherine Brillant Boucher. She was baptized Marie Emilienne. In November 1929, she entered the Sisters of Providence. Upon her profession, she received her name in religion, Sister Lucille Marie. Her first mission was as a sister at the same hospital where she initially met the Sisters of Providence. After three years there, she came to the American West, first serving at Mount St. Vincent in Seattle for an orientation to the American language and culture. In 1935 she went to St. Vincent Hospital in Portland, Ore., to work in the kitchen. She served there until January 1953, when she came to Anchorage to serve in the kitchen at Providence Hospital. In 1960, she went to St. Mary Hospital in Astoria, Ore., to be the dietary supervisor. In 1970, she returned to Providence Hospital. The Sisters of Providence often recognized her work at the hospital. Her French pastries, custard rhubarb pies, blueberry pies and muffins, salmon pies and pans of cornbread, which were among the hospital fare, established her reputation as an excellent cook. After she retired from dietary work at Providence Hospital in the mid1980s, she remained in Anchorage and cooked for the sisters, serving at Sisters of Providence institutions there. At hospital fundraising events, her pastries were popular sellers. After more than 25 years of service in Anchorage, she joined the retired sisters at St. Joseph Residence in Seattle in November.
She is survived by her brother, Charles of Quebec Province, Canada; her nieces, Sister Pauline Boucher of Winnipeg Manatoba, Canada, and Rita Labell of Montreal, Quebec, Canada; and her nephews, Jean Marc of Alberto Canada, and Lucien. Funeral arrangements were by Bonnie Watson Funeral Home in Seatte.
