Anne F. Boulanger

Anne Frances (Burke) Boulanger, 92, of Littleton, MA passed away peacefully Friday, January 21, 2022, at Life Care Center of Nashoba Valley in Littleton. She was the beloved widow of the late Robert J. Boulanger who died in 2016 after 67 years of Marriage.

A daughter of the late John Francis Burke and the late Anna (Gildee) Burke, she was born December 27, 1929, in Lowell, where she spent her young childhood years. She was educated in Dedham and Lowell, MA, ultimately graduating from Lowell High School. She was a proud Lowellian and seemed to know at length every aspect of the city. Throughout her life her pride and joy was her family, providing unwavering love, support, and stability to everyone who sought it. This also extended to helping others in need as she was a second mother to many neighborhood children and friends of the family. She specifically took pride and joy in helping to raise her niece Margaret Simoneau for the first few years of her life. She was also a member of the ladies’ sodality at St. Therese Church in Billerica and St. Timothy in Bristol, NH, where she was also a eucharistic minister. She loved the outdoors and walking in the woods, blueberry picking, bird watching, and always made time for a good conversation.

Anne moved from Lowell to Billerica in the early 1960’s to raise her family. Anne and Robert spent their retirement years in Bristol, New Hampshire after moving there in 1994 before residing in Hampton, New Hampshire and more recently, Littleton, MA.

Her survivors include her children, Robert Joseph Boulanger and his wife, Ester, of Billerica, MA, LuAnn Turner and her husband, Thomas, of Hampton, NH, and Luke Boulanger and his wife, Talia, of Westford, MA; her grandchildren, Gustavo Silva and his wife, Gayellen of Dracut, MA; Aimee Gordon and her husband, Sean of Wilmington, MA; Christopher Hislop and his wife, Leigh of Strafford, NH, Jennifer Hislop of Haverhill, MA, Marie Boulanger, Henri Boulanger, Mai Boulanger, Miles Foster, and Nathaniel Foster of Westford, MA; her six great grandchildren; her brother, Jim Burke of Nashua, NH; and several nieces and nephews.

She was also the grandmother of the late Dr. George Silva and sister of the late Marie Downes and Catherine Burke, as well as the late Thomas Burke.
