Toni-Michele Beaudoin

Willimantic-Toni-Michele Beaudoin of Willimantic, CT sadly passed away on Memorial Day, May 27th, 2019, after a long and painful battle with cancer. She was just 47 years old. Toni was born on August 5th, 1971, in Minamirinkan, Yamatoshi, Kanagawaken, Japan. Toni is survived by family who deeply loved her, including her husband Christopher Beaudoin and her mother Kogiku Bolczak of Preston, CT. She had two siblings, sister Ruth Copelin Sande of Spring, TX and brother Mark Bolczak of San Diego, CA. Toni is also survived by her sister-in-law, Cynthia, along with her nephew Fischer Bolczak and his wife Sarah, also of San Diego, CA. Toni was loved and will be missed by many relatives here, as well as in Japan, along with long time friends and colleagues at the Willimantic CVS where she worked for the past 17 years. Toni's secular career was working as a pharmaceutical technician from the age of 16. Yet her primary joy centered on her worship and preaching as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. As an active and long-time member of the Willimantic CT., congregation, Toni experienced genuine love and the cherished companionship of life-long friends. This is where she eventually met and married Chris, her beloved husband of 27 years. Toni loved animals. Especially near to her heart were her precious cats, Izzy and Oliver, who provided invaluable emotional support. As a little girl, she often chattered about becoming a veterinarian. As an adult, Toni was sophisticated, well read and a thoughtful person. She also had a deep appreciation and interest for the arts, music and the theater. She loved to attend live theater and concerts. She especially loved to watch the Beatles tribute band, the Fab Four perform. Those who knew her would describe her as graceful and classy. She was curious and would not think twice to drive several hours to explore an interesting place she heard about or dine at an out-of-the way restaurant that had an interesting review. When Toni learned that she had an extremely aggressive type of a cancer, she fought with all her might, right down to her very last breath. As she fell asleep in death, Toni was surrounded by her loved ones, her family and many friends. Toni was a beautiful person both inside and out, and we are missing her every day that she isn’t with us. Memorial services will be held at 2PM on June 8th at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses at 96 Quarry Street, Willimantic, CT 06226.
