“She always carrying this around in her backpack and I found this behind the church up the hill, so I thought I’d bring it because she had it all the time.”

Dumais described her friend as outspoken and very proper.

paNOW was also told Gauthier had at least two children. Alyson Corrigal, a daycare operator, who helped Gauthier said she was the most caring, loving, big hearted mom to her children.

“She was a silly individual. She was always the jokester. When she saw me in the community any time she would come give me a hug and tell me thank you for all the support you gave me. She was a mom, a daughter, a sister and protector. She mattered.”
