Bertha Ann Moquin

It is with heavy hearts and profound gratitude for a life well-lived that we announce the peaceful passing of Bertha Ann Moquin, who departed this world on May 18, 2026, at the age of 80. Born on October 27, 1945, in Old Town, Maine, Bertha was enveloped in love as she left this earthly realm, surrounded by her adoring family. Bertha was the cherished daughter of Alice and Joseph Legere Sr., and it was in the warmth of their family home that her remarkable journey began. She was the beloved wife of the late Paul Moquin, with whom she shared many treasured years of marriage, building a life filled with laughter, resilience, and unwavering love. Throughout her life, Bertha was a beacon of kindness and compassion, qualities that she generously shared with her family and friends. She was predeceased by her parents, her dear husband Paul, and her brothers Leonard Legere Jr. and Ronald Legere, as well as her brother-in-law James Bull. Each loss was deeply felt, and she held their memories close to her heart. Bertha leaves behind a legacy of love through her surviving family: her devoted daughter Penny, who was her greatest joy, and her cherished grandson Austin Cook, who brought light to her days. She is also survived by her brothers Clayton (Joan) Duplessis and Walter (Cynthia) Legere, her sister Rita Bull, her sister-in-law Pam Legere, and many nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews, all of whom she adored and who adored her in return. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the Eastside Center for Health & Rehabilitation and Constellation for their unwavering care and support during Bertha's final days. Their compassion provided comfort to both Bertha and her loved ones, ensuring her final journey was filled with dignity and peace. A private funeral ceremony will be held to honor Bertha's life, allowing her family to celebrate her legacy in an intimate setting, reflecting the way she lived—with grace and humility. In this time of mourning, may we also celebrate the remarkable woman Bertha was—a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Her spirit will continue to inspire all who knew her, and her memory will forever be a blessing. In lieu of flowers, the family encourages those who wish to honor Bertha's memory to perform an act of kindness in her name, as she would have done herself. Let us all strive to carry forward the love and compassion that Bertha embodied throughout her life.
