Constance “Connie” Lillian Fricot (Gauthier), 87 of Providence, RI, formerly of Attleboro, MA passed away peacefully at the Highlands on the East Side in Providence on, Friday, May 13, 2022, with her loving family by her side.

She was the devoted wife of the late Roger A.

Fricot, whom she married on May 22, 1954, and who passed away on December 24, 2003.

Born on October 4, 1934, in Pawtucket, RI, she was the daughter of Josephine (England) and George H.

Gauthier of Pawtucket, RI.

Connie was first and foremost a loving and devoted wife, mother, and friend.

She held the toughest job, being a full-time mom to four children, all while tending to the family home.

She was involved in her children’s activities, being a Cub Scout Den Mother for Pack 24, and cheering on her boys at little league games.

She was fully involved in all the family’s activities, and still made time for some of her favorite things, which included playing the organ, knitting, sewing, and painting.

Her love of painting became a more important hobby in later years after her family was grown and on their own.

She taught CCD at St, Theresa’s Church in So.

Attleboro and was a member of the local PEAL Club, attending many dinners and outings.

She took care of her family while caring for her elderly parents.

Later in life she worked doing bookkeeping for several local companies.

Connie and Roger sold their family home in their later years and relocated to Lincoln Senior Housing.

During this time, they were able to spend time traveling together and were fortunate to enjoy trips to Hawaii, Alaska, California, Bermuda and several National State Parks, as well as more local trips to Cape Cod, New Hampshire and New York.

Connie was a communicant of both St.

Theresa Church in South Attleboro, and St.

Jude’s Church in Lincoln.

She is survived by two sons, Gerard M.

Fricot and his wife, Maryellen of So.

Attleboro, MA and Michael J.

Fricot of Nashua, New Hampshire; a daughter, Gail M.

Farias and her fiancée, Anthony Prendergast of Somerset, MA; four grandchildren, Stacy, Melissa, Bryan, and Rylan, and two great grandchildren, Liam and Malcolm.
