June Bouvier

June C. Bouvier, 91, of Shrewsbury passed away on Oct. 17, 2025. Born in Atlanta, she was the daughter of the late Edward Winters, who died when she was young, and the late Mary (Boyd) Winters. She was the wife of 54 years to the late Bernard D. Bouvier.

Formerly of Westborough and Grafton, June found joy in the simple pleasures of life — reading a good book, preparing a home-cooked meal, decorating for each holiday and, above all, spending time with her family. A devout Catholic, she often could be found praying the rosary at church and was a former member of a church in Jacksonville, Florida. She was an avid Red Sox fan and loved cheering on the Patriots. She had multiple black Labs over the years, most recently her dog Lulu. She was a “cheerleader mom” when her sons were in school. She especially cherished her role as a mother to her four sons and as a beloved grandmother.

June is survived by four sons: Joseph Bouvier, M.D., and wife Andrea of Queen Creek, Arizona; Stephen Bouvier of Bluffton, South Carolina; Edward Bouvier and wife Robin of Hopkinton; and Thomas Bouvier and wife, Marie of Wilton, Connecticut. She also leaves behind her grandchildren, Samantha, Alessandra, Laura, Maria, Josephine, Tess, Sarah, Isabel and Garret.

Visitation will be held on Friday, Oct. 24, from 4-7 p.m. at Chesmore Funeral Home of Hopkinton. A funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, Oct. 25, at 10 a.m. at Saint James Church, 89 Main Street, South Grafton. Interment will be held privately at the family’s convenience. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to smalldogrescuene.org or Small Dog Rescue of New England, 18 Yard Street, Cranston, RI 02920.
