Martha W. Giguere

Warren – Martha Wright Giguere of Warren, Massachusetts died suddenly, but peacefully at her home on Wednesday, March 26th, 2025. Her unexpected departure leaves an immense void in the lives of those who knew and loved her.

She leaves behind her seven children, William and Barbara of Charlton, Marie-Louise Marco of Belgium, Joseph and Elizabeth Giguere of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Lise-Anne and Frederic Marsal of Paris, France, Angela Einstein and Shane Brooks of Burnham, Maine, Thomas Dooley and Jacqueline Giguere of Sturbridge, and Monique Giguere and Dustin Lima of Charlestown, Rhode Island. Martha was one of five children of William R. and Ruth G. Wright, both of whom are deceased. She is survived by her sister and brothers, Susan Hight, David Wright, Peter Wright and Seth Wright; as well as fifteen grandchildren, thirteen great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her beloved husband of fifty years, Dr. Leandre W. Giguere, just this past February.

Martha graduated from Bancroft School in Worcester, Massachusetts and then went on to study at Cazenovia College in New York. She also had the opportunity to study at the University of Guadalajara in Mexico and the University of Madrid in Spain. Martha was never one to sit still and was extremely active. She was an accomplished equestrian, sailor, and gardener; and loved the satisfaction of a well-tended lawn. She also loved her visits to China Lake in Maine and regularly traveled to the Bahamas and Paris. But most of all she enjoyed the times she spent with her family and friends.

A funeral service to honor and celebrate Martha’s life will be held on Friday, April 25th, 2025, at 11:00am in the First Congregational Church of West Brookfield, 36 North Main St., in West Brookfield, Massachusetts. Prior to the service, a reception will be held at 10:00am in the Fellowship Hall of the church.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that memorial donations be made to The First Congregational Church of West Brookfield, P.O. Box 371, West Brookfield, MA 01585.
