Charlton - Brigid Ann "Bann" (Clifford) Levesque, 95, of Charlton, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 4th, 2024 at Quaboag Rehabilitation and Skilled Care Center in West Brookfield.
She leaves her children, Patricia Lanier (Larry) of Ware, Geraldine Levesque of Dudley, and Joseph Levesque (Lisa) of Rutland; her grandchildren, Michael Levesque, Matthew Levesque (Vanessa), Meaghan Levesque and her fiance Larry, and Timothy Levesque; as well as many nieces and nephews across the U.S., Ireland, and England. She was predeceased by her husband, Gerard A. Levesque, in 2014; by her brothers, Bill and Henry Clifford; by her sisters, Mary Costello and Margaret Verrall; and by her beloved dog, Bonnie. She was born January 2nd, 1929 in Cloonaholly, a tiny farm village in Co. Roscommon Ireland, the youngest of five to the late Edward and Bridget (Dalton) Clifford.
Brigid immigrated to the U.S. at a young age and on her own. After living with an aunt in Providence, RI, she moved to Boston where she graduated from the Shepard-Gill School of Practical Nursing at MGH. She became a U.S. citizen, married the love of her life, and moved to West Warren where she would raise her family. She worked at Mary Lane Hospital, and later for many years at Baystate Wing Hospital (Wing Memorial), until she retired.
Brigid was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and a friend to many. She enjoyed listening to Irish music and sharing her strong Irish roots with family and friends. She also liked fishing, going to the casino, and watching the Red Sox with her husband.
She was a devout Catholic and a communicant of St. Thomas Aquinas/St. Paul's in Warren for most of her life.
The family would like to thank Quaboag Rehabilitation and Skilled Care Center for their dedicated, warm and compassionate care. A special thanks to all the folks on unit two. Also, thank you to Compassus Hospice for bringing comfort, companionship and their loving care.
