ANNA E. BOUCHER
June 14, 1941 – September 13, 2018
Town of Newburgh, NY
Anna E. Boucher passed away September 13, 2018 after a nine month long fight with cancer. Anna was the daughter of the late George Ewanich Sr. and the late Mary Josephine Makarewicz. She was born June 14, 1941 at St. Luke’s Hospital Newburgh, New York.
Anna graduated from Cornwall Central High School, Orange County Community College and the State University of New Paltz. Her Bachelors plus thirty hours for certification was completed at the State University College at Buffalo, New York.
Anna’s first career was as a Middle School Science Teacher. She taught at the West Point Post School, Valley Central Middle School, Amherst Central Junior High School in Snyder, New York and finally at the Washingtonville Junior High School. Her second career was to stay at home and raise her family but during that time she managed to work for a couple of years as Nature Director at the West Point Youth Camp. With the arrival of the empty nest she embarked on a career in retailing. She worked for Ann’s Hallmark Shoppe, Mid-Valley Mall; Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - Gift Shop, Fishkill and finally at Kohl’s, Newburgh. Anna’s final career was to stop working for a pay check and retire to take care of her gardens and help take care of her granddaughter.
