Marguerite (Bosse) Paradis

GORHAM – Marguerite (Bosse) Paradis passed away Jan. 1, 2023 at her daughter’s residence in Gorham, at the age of 86.

Marguerite was born April 1, 1936 in Lewiston to Marc O. Bosse and Marguerite (Ouellette) Bosse. She met her husband of 56 years, Louis A. Paradis, in their mutual hometown and moved to Portland in 1968. Marguerite lived a full life raising her four children, involved in the PTA as president and holding various jobs throughout her life. She was dedicated to her family and spent time with them enjoying the many lakes, oceans, and mountains Maine has to offer.

In 1987, Marguerite and Louis moved to Wilder, Vt., where Marguerite flourished as a dental office manager for the next 10 years. In retirement, Louis and Marguerite moved several times between Maine, Colorado, and New Jersey to live near children and grandchildren.

“Marge”, as she was affectionately known, touched the hearts of all fortunate to have met her and made life-long friends everywhere she lived. Marge was a loving wife, a selfless mother, and a doting grandmother. Her humor, huge heart, and beautiful smile will be missed by all.

Preceded in death by her husband, she is survived by her four children, Louise (Gary) Paradis Baca, Paul E. (Laura) Paradis, Marie (Mike) Paradis Oster, and Joseph A. (Kathy) Paradis; and 13 grandchildren, Brianna and Sierra Baca; Olivia, Julia, William and Maggie Oster; Margaux, Charles, Elle and Jacques Paradis; and Madeleine, Oliver and Sebastien Paradis.
