Kiera "Keke" Boucher, 26

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Kiera "Keke" Boucher, 26, passed away on March 9, 2025, in North Adams.

Born on Oct. 11, 1998, in North Adams, she was a beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin, and friend whose warmth and kindness touched the lives of many.

Kiera graduated from Drury High School and had a deep passion for helping others. While still in high school, she interned at The Brien Center for Mental Health and Substance Abuse. Her dedication to supporting those in need led her to accept a position as a Recovery Facilitator after graduation. She later became a certified Peer Support Specialist, dedicating several years to guiding and uplifting individuals on their journeys to recovery.

Kiera's love for animals was unmatched. She had an open heart for any stray or injured creature she encountered and often enlisted the help of her aunts to rescue them. Her beloved dog Dior and cat Gsxr were among the many animals she cherished. She also found joy in kayaking, fishing, and spending time outdoors whenever the weather allowed. Above all else, Kiera treasured her family and friends. She had an extraordinary ability to bring people together, ensuring that those she loved felt valued and supported. Her gatherings were filled with laughter and warmth as she worked tirelessly to keep everyone close. Kiera's love extended beyond blood relations-she embraced friends as family and adored their children as if they were her own.

She is survived by her mother, Katie Boucher; her siblings Tyler Briggs, Darren Hall, Alexander Boucher, Taylor Reynolds, Isabella Reynolds, Hudson Reynolds, and Ashton Reynolds; her maternal grandparents Carol and Michael Boucher; her paternal grandmother Sheila Dargie; her uncle Mike Boucher & Jasmine Rivera-Boucher; her aunt Sarah Brown and Anthony Brown; as well as several other aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends who will forever cherish her memory.

Kiera was predeceased by her brother Thomas Boucher; her best friends, Jensynn Rock and Joshua Jadusingh; and her cousin Kiejuan Guillotte.

Kiera's radiant smile could light up any room, and her energy was truly contagious. She was a protector at heart —always showing up for those she loved most. Her legacy of love, kindness, and unwavering support will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. May her memory bring comfort to those who loved her most.
