Cheryl J. Lemoine

Hardwick - Cheryl J. Lemoine, 65, of Hardwick, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, surrounded by love.

Cheryl was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and friend whose kindness and gentle spirit touched everyone who knew her. She is survived by her daughter, Melissa A. O’Brien, and her husband, Richard of Hardwick; and her long-time companion of 34 years, Paul Sloat. She was predeceased by her husband, Richard J. Lemoine.

Born into a large and loving family, Cheryl was the daughter of Harold and Joan (Martin) Boudreau and was one of ten siblings. She leaves behind her sisters, Karen Mica, Sharon Long, Shelly Boudreau, and Sherry Gould; and her brothers, Darryl, Darren, and Ricky Boudreau. She was predeceased by her brothers, Harold and Derick Boudreau.

Cheryl was a proud and loving grandmother to Dustin and Kylie Lemoine and Eithen O’Brien, who brought her endless joy. She also leaves behind many cherished nieces, nephews, and dear friends who will miss her deeply.

For many years, Cheryl worked as a store clerk at Big Y and Walmart, where she enjoyed greeting familiar faces and sharing conversations with customers. Outside of work, she found happiness in the simple pleasures of life —hunting and fishing in local areas, camping, peaceful walks along the ocean collecting sea glass, and quiet moments spent on her front porch swing with a good book. These were the moments that brought her comfort and peace.

Calling hours for Cheryl will be held on Saturday, January 10, 2026, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. in Charbonneau Funeral Home, 30 Pleasant Street, Ware. A Celebration of Life will follow from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. at Hardwick Winery. An online tribute page is available at charbonneaufh.com.
