WATERVILLE – Brigitte passed away peacefully at her home on Thursday, March 12, 2021 after a long nine year battle with cancer. Brigitte was born in Oppau, Germany on Oct. 18, 1936. She was the daughter of Freidrich and Lina (Wick) Walter.

Brigitte was the love of Robert’s life. She became a Citizen of the US and was a true patriot. She was Catholic and worked for the sisters of St Joseph at their center in Winslow. Prior to that, she worked for 20 years at Kyes Fiber and ended her employment there as an inspector.

Her favorite place in all of Maine was Pemiquid Poimt. She was the strongest yet most gentle person I have ever known. She was loving and caring of everyone. She will be dearly missed by everyone.

She is survived by her husband of 19 years, Robert M. Wood “Woody”, the love of her life; three children, Michael Bouchard of Gorham, Sonja (Bouchard) Boyle of Norway and Kristine (Lanphier) Rush of Oklahoma; six grandchildren; two great-grandchildren. Let it be known that she loved all of her children and grandchildren alike. That said, Brigitte and Robert raised her grandson, Nason Lanphier of Waterville. He was like another child to her and needs special mention. She was predeceased by a grandchild, Stephen Bouchard.

There will be no funeral service.

Arrangements under the direction and care of Dan & Scott’s Cremation & Funeral Service, 445 Waterville Road, Skowhegan ME 04976.
