Beverly Ann Forcier, 86, of Douglas, MA, beloved wife of Roland Forcier, passed away peacefully on Monday, March 30, 2026, at home surrounded by her loving family. She was born on October 30, 1939, in Springfield, MA.

 

Beverly dedicated herself first and foremost to raising her family. At 40, she returned to school and became a medical assistant, a decision that launched a fulfilling career in healthcare. She went on to work at a local doctor's office before finding her true calling at Tri-River Health Care in pediatrics, where she worked until the age of 75. Through it all, she and Roland also owned and operated Family Convenience Center in Douglas, building a life and a business together.

 

Nothing brought Beverly more joy than time with her family. She could make a celebration out of anything, and she often did by filling her kitchen and her table with the food she loved to prepare for family and friends. She treasured every moment babysitting her grandchildren and, later, her great-grandchildren. Bev was the organizer of annual trips with her closest girlfriends and traveled to many wonderful places with Roland and on family vacations. After retiring, she volunteered with Uxbridge Meals on Wheels, extending to her community the same generosity she showed everyone in her life. Bev was known for her warmth and her open heart, her front door was always open, and she loved nothing more than a full house.

 

Beverly is survived by her loving husband Roland, her devoted companion of 67 years; her four children, Keith Forcier, Kevin Forcier and his wife Cheril, Laurie and her husband Rick, and Lisa and her husband Glen; her cherished adopted daughter Alice and her partner Paul; eight grandchildren; and eleven great-grandchildren.

The family would like to extend heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate nursing staff on the 4th floor of Milford Hospital for the wonderful care they provided.

 

As the family mourns her loss, they take comfort in knowing that heaven has gained a perfect angel.

 

Beverly's calling hours will be held on Thursday, April 2, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Carr Funeral Home, 24 Hill Street, Whitinsville, MA. A funeral service will be held on Friday, April 3, at 10:00 a.m. at the funeral home, followed by burial at St. Patrick's Cemetery in Whitinsville.

 

In lieu of flowers, donations in Beverly's memory may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, an organization she supported throughout her life.
