Carol E. Faucher

Carol Elizabeth Faucher of E. Sandwich, MA, formerly of Boston and Nantucket was at peace when she passed away on October 19, 2024 at the age of 75. She had a life filled with love, laughter, and an unapologetic flair for making everything just a little more… Carol. Born on December 19, 1948, in Worcester, she lived a life as vibrant and stunning as the homes she constantly redecorated. Her boundless energy touched everyone around her, and her ability to turn the mundane into the extraordinary was nothing short of legendary.

Carol leaves behind her loving husband, James Faucher, who somehow managed to endure being called “JIMMY” at full volume for decades without ever filing a noise complaint. Her daughter, Nickleen Mosher, and husband Shad will miss her larger-than-life presence, even though Nickleen might be relieved that her mom can no longer critique her choice of throw pillows. Her stepdaughter, Donna McCarthy, and stepson, Tim Faucher, join the chorus of family members who now face life without Carol’s passionate opinions on, well, everything. Her six grandsons—Nick, Ethan, Matt, Jack, Garrett, and Nolan—have lost the grandmother who never missed an opportunity to spoil them, bake for them, and remind them that their jeans were just a little too tight.

Carol attended Classical High School and Quinsigamond College, where her sharp mind and quick wit shone through in her studies. Over the years, she wore many hats—from dental assistant to aerobics instructor to furniture store candy thief, but the hat she wore over them all was her 25 years as a teaching assistant in Worcester and Nantucket schools, where her insistence on proper manners—like her abhorrence for hats indoors—was a hallmark of her tenure. Her dedication to her students and her knack for making the classroom run smoothly will not soon be forgotten.

An avid baker, Carol was famous for her cakes that could outshine anything from a professional bakery. She had a passion for remodeling and redecorating her homes—transforming each one until it was picture-perfect, only to sell it and start all over again somewhere new. Her love for sewing, gardening, and creating beautiful spaces was an extension of her generous, creative spirit.

Carol also leaves behind her sister, Michaela Finnegan, who shared in her sense of humor, and a family that will forever be grateful for the many laughs, lessons, and love she brought into their lives.

While she may have left us with a lump in our throats and a sense of loss not wholly fathomable, Carol’s zest for life and knack for always doing things her way will live on in the memories of all who knew her. Whether she was baking, gardening, or reminding someone to fix their collar or pull up their fly, Carol lived a life that was unapologetically her own.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that you update your living room decor to something more sophisticated, because Carol would most certainly have wanted that.

A Celebration of Life will be private.
