Brien August Ducharme, Jr.

Brien August Ducharme, Jr., age 90, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, at Heaton Woods Assisted Living in Montpelier, Vermont.  He was born on September 30, 1934, in Marshfield, to Brien and Cecile Ducharme.  Brien was the oldest of four siblings, Maurice Ducharme, Bertha Trumble and Lorraine Harvey. 

Brien married the late Jeanne Claire on August 17, 1955, and Andre, Dennis, Maria, David, Gerard, Myle, Miya and Anh were a product of their love.  He devoted his life to being an amazing provider.  Brien spent his working years as a logger, enjoying being in the woods sharing his love of nature and garden with his family and friends.  Brien enjoyed dancing and traveling throughout the States and Europe with his wife Jeanne, and their many friends.  Later in life he grew to enjoy playing cards and spent many hours with family and friends beating them at the game of Rummy.

Brien leaves behind loving and cherished memories of his eight children, nineteen grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.  A host of nieces, nephews, cousins and many dear friends will miss him greatly, but will stop and remember the snow machine rides, picking blackberries, milking the cow, Sunday Mass at North American Martyrs Church, fishing quietly on the bank of a gently slow-moving stream, round dancing for hours on end, his quick and free sense of humor, Sunday drives and the memories go on. 

The funeral and celebration of life will be held 10:00 am on May 17, 2025, at Christ Covenant Church, 167 Creamery Street, Marshfield, VT.  The burial will follow in Durant Cemetery, Lower Cabot.
