Barbara Joan Boucher, nèe Williams
Sept. 29, 1944 – May 22, 2021
Barbara was born in New York City in 1944 to parents Donald and Leone Williams. She spent her early life around Syracuse, New York before moving to Daytona Beach, Florida. In her teens, she and her family moved to the Glendale area of Southern California where she would spend the rest of her life.
Well known for her ability to make friends with anyone she met, and having a near perfect memory, Barbara, or “Bobbi” as she liked to be called, had little trouble excelling at whatever path she placed herself on. Be it babysitting, working at a bank, or as a section secretary at JPL in the ’70s, she was well liked by everyone she came into contact with.
A dedicated wife and mother, she would spend many years volunteering for her local church or at the schools her children attended, oftentimes stepping in for the teacher should the need arise, picking up skills she would later use when homeschooling her youngest child.
Barbara passed away on May 22 shortly before 11 p.m. at Verdugo Hills Hospital after a brief battle with an extremely aggressive form of leukemia.
She is survived by her husband of 55 years, Lloyd Boucher, and her two sons, Lawrence and Michael.
Services will be held at Crippen Mortuary, 2900 Honolulu Ave. on June 2 at 11 a.m. followed by a burial service at San Fernando Mission Cemetery.
