The City Council was deeply saddened to learn of the death of Lieby Bouchard who passed away on December 29, 2023, at the age of 87; and
Lieby led a life of service and her dedication to those in need transcended almost everything else in her life; and
Lieby served as the Project Director of the Harvard Square Churches Meal Program for thirty years, from 1983 to 2013, and upon retirement, continued to be an integral part of the program as a volunteer; and
In 2010, Lieby was granted a Lifetime Achievement Award for “Extraordinary
Community Service to the People of Cambridge” from the Cambridge Volunteer
Clearinghouse; and
Lieby will be warmly remembered by colleagues, volunteers, and guests of the Thursday Night Meal as the creative, positive force behind the 42-year life of the Harvard Square Churches Meal Program; and
Lieby will be missed by all those whose lives she touched and brightened, especially her beloved husband of sixty years, Alfred Bouchard; now therefore be it
RESOLVED: That the City Council formally go on record expressing its deepest condolences to the family and friends of Lieby Bouchard for their tremendous loss; and be it further
