Michele Marie (Boucher) Brunelle, 61, of Attleboro, MA, passed away on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, at Landmark Medical Center in Woonsocket, RI. She was the beloved wife of Armand J. Brunelle III, whom she married on October 7, 1988.

Born on May 8, 1965, in Attleboro, MA, she was the daughter of the late Raymond Boucher and the late Margaret Beatrice (Pimental) Boucher.

Michele resided in Attleboro throughout her life and was a graduate of Bishop Feehan High School, Class of 1983. She earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry from Simmons College in Boston, Class of 1987.

She began her career in 1987 as a research chemist at EIC Laboratories in Norwood, MA. She later returned to school to study pharmacy, earning her second bachelor's degree in 1992 from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy. Michele worked in retail pharmacy at Thayer Pharmacy, CVS Pharmacy, and Haskins Pharmacy. She also worked in the inpatient pharmacy at Landmark Medical Center in Woonsocket, RI, before retiring in 2016.

A woman of strong faith, Michele was a longtime parishioner of Transfiguration of the Lord Parish at St. Mark Church in Attleboro Falls. During her younger years, she was active in the parish's Youth Ministry and later shared her artistic talents through the Christmas Tree Fair.

Michele was an accomplished artist who worked primarily in stained glass and mosaics. You can view some of her work at https://michelebrunelle.art She was also a talented seamstress and most recently lovingly made dog bandannas for Armand's Meg the Red Labrador™ book and family lifestyle brand.

An avid reader, Michele led women's book study groups for many years. At the time of her passing, she was serving as a member of the Board of Directors of The Literacy Center in Attleboro.

More than anything, Michele deeply cherished her family and especially treasured being "Nana" to her beloved grandson, Mikey.

For 25 years, ballroom dancing was a special part of Michele and Armand's life together. It began in October 2001, when Michele gave Armand an introductory lesson at Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Swansea for their anniversary. They had so much fun that first evening that they simply never stopped. Dancing became "their thing"-a weekly date night that brought them tremendous joy and countless friendships over the years. More recently, while spending winters in Jupiter, Florida, they continued their love of dancing at InMotion Ballroom. Together they enjoyed many showcases and performances, creating wonderful memories on the dance floor that Armand will always treasure. Dancing with Michele was one of the great joys of his life, and while he plans to continue dancing, it will never quite be the same without his favorite partner by his side.

In addition to her husband, Armand, she leaves her loving children, Marc Armand Brunelle and his wife, Sarah Catherine (Anderson) Brunelle, and their infant son, Michael Christopher Brunelle, of Sudbury, MA; and Rachel Mary Brunelle of Attleboro, MA, and her boyfriend, Derek Hass of Mansfield, MA. Michele was also the beloved daughter-in-law of Armand J. Brunelle Jr. of Attleboro, MA, and leaves her extended family and many dear friends.

Michele was predeceased by her brother, Raymond Gerard Boucher.
