It is with great sadness that we share the news of Linda Bouchard (née Belley) passing away on December 4, 2025, in Windsor, Ontario, at the age of 71. She was born on October 19, 1954, in Mistassini, Lac St. Jean, Quebec and was the beloved daughter of the late Jean-Marie and Rolande Belley (née Audet). Linda leaves behind her devoted husband, Regis Bouchard, with whom she shared a strong connection for 51 years. Their love story began when they were just teenagers at 15 and grew into a wonderful partnership. They were often seen together, hand in hand as they experienced life side by side. She is also survived by her dear children, Valerie Radigan (Shane) and Dominic Bouchard (Pamela). Linda took great pride in being a grandmother to Alana Dvorak (William), Aiden, Austin, Carson and Wesley. Additionally, she was a loving great-grandmother to Levi and Jodi Lynn. Her family meant everything to her and she valued each moment spent together. She is also survived by her brothers Jean-Pierre Belley and Yves Belley along with numerous nieces and nephews who will miss her dearly. Linda was predeceased by her brother Jocelyn Belley. Linda loved traveling and enjoyed many wonderful years as a snowbird with Regis as they escaped cold winters to bask in Florida’s warmth alongside friends and family. A gifted cook, she took joy in preparing delicious meals for dinner parties while making lasting memories in the kitchen. One of her favorite traditions was ringing in the New Year by watching the sunrise on a Florida beach with champagne in hand surrounded by Regis and those closest to her. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt thanks to the staff at Windsor Regional Hospital especially those from Palliative Care, Cancer Floor and ICU teams for their outstanding care during Linda’s time of need. A special thank you goes out to Nurse Lisa from St. Elizabeth’s Health for her kindness and commitment. A visitation is set for Tuesday, December 9, 2025 at Windsor Chapel Banwell (11677 Tecumseh Road East, Windsor ON) from 1 p.m.-3 p.m., followed by another session from 5 p.m.-7 p.m. Mass will be held on Wednesday December 10th at St-Jérôme Parish (3739 Ypres Ave., Windsor ON) at 11 a.m., with cremation afterward.
