Geneva B. Beaulieu

Geneva B. (McCarthy) Beaulieu, 88, of Scarborough, ME, formerly of Bristol, widow of Gilbert L. Beaulieu, died on Saturday (August 25, 2018) at Sedgewood Commons, Falmouth. Genny was born in Grand Falls, New Brunswick, Canada on September 30, 1929 and was a daughter of the late Leonard and Alma McCarthy. She graduated high school there and went on to study business before getting married and moving to Fort Fairfield, ME. Geneva and Gilbert raised five daughters and in 1973 moved to Bristol. Geneva pursued a career in real estate and worked for the Roland Dumont Agency until she retired in 1995. In 2001, she moved back to Maine to be close to her daughters and made a new home in Scarborough. Geneva was fiercely independent and was known for her feisty personality. She had a great sense of humor, a great amount of energy, and a great sense of style. She adored her family and looked forward to their card games and endless gatherings. She was a member of St. Denis Parish in Fort Fairfield, St. Gregory Parish in Bristol and later, St. Max Parish in Scarborough. She attended daily Mass and was a woman of strong faith. She enjoyed drawing landscapes, challenging crossword puzzles, and loved to walk briskly in the sun. She also enjoyed watching golf and making her amazing chicken soup for her girls and many nieces and nephews. Geneva is survived by her five daughters: Barbara Wilson of Old Orchard Beach, ME, Deborah Rossignol of Houlton, ME, Bonnie Bottino of Saco, ME, Marie Beaulieu and Terry Cote and husband, Rick Cote, of Scarborough, ME; a sister: Sandra McCarthy of Bristol; five grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by brothers: Conrad and Alton McCarthy and sisters: Bernice Goodine, Betty Cassidy, Althea Haines, Leona and Gilberta McCarthy, and Glenna Pelletier.
