Obituary for Janice M. (Pisinski) Beauregard
AUBURN – Janice M. Beauregard, age 85, a longtime Auburn resident, passed away peacefully in her home, surrounded by her loving family on Saturday, August 26, 2023.
She leaves her beloved husband of 61 years, Roland J. Beauregard, her children Michelle Grubb (Fred) of Barre, VT; Marylou Markman (Ken) of Waldwick, NJ; Mark Beauregard (Kathy) of Murrysville, PA; and Matt Beauregard (Ashley) of Haverhill, NH; her thirteen grandchildren Meredith Rossignol (Scott), Audrey and Evan Grubb; Joe, Mike, Rashawn and Yasmin Markman; Burke, Nathan and Sidney Beauregard and Zachary, Elijah and Isaiah Beauregard; one great-granddaughter Lily Rossignol; her siblings Thomas Pisinski (Margaret) of Northborough, MA; Paul Pisinski (Janet) of Boylston, MA; Edward Pisinski (Nina) of Southborough, MA, and Nancy Bouley of Westfield, MA; along with many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her son Michael; her parents Alexander and Helen (Goblaskas) Pisinski; and her brother-in-law Robert Bouley.
Janice was born and raised in Worcester. Much of her childhood was spent at the Worcester Girls Club where she enjoyed being a sewing instructor and camp counselor before graduating from South High School. She continued her schooling at Worcester Teacher’s College and obtained a bachelor’s degree in education. She taught 2nd grade in Northborough Public schools and after a few years, she left the workforce to raise her 4 children. In 1983, she opened Annie’s Book Stop, her dream job where she could serve the book loving community daily. Roland joined her at Annie’s where they worked together until 2007.
Janice’s greatest passion was being with family and gatherings, large or small, brought great joy to her. She would do whatever it took, even drive through snowstorms, to welcome a new grandchild or cheer any of them on in their activities. She loved vacationing with her kids and grandchildren and traveled all over the world with her husband. One of her most memorable trips combined her love of ballroom dancing with a trip to Vienna. When at home, you could find her creating and enjoying her beautiful back yard garden. She will be remembered as someone who brought joy and an all-encompassing love to those her knew her.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Massachusetts Audubon Society (https://www.massaudubon.org/).
