Newburyport, MA - Patrick John Boudreau, born on March 11, 1997 of Newburyport, Mass. passed away unexpectedly on August 11, 2020 at McLean Hospital, after an ongoing struggle with mental illness. He is survived by his parents, George and Susan Boudreau, brother and best friend Billy, aunts, Georgia Kacher, Eleni Kacher, and Angela Ackroyd who have been by his side during his most sad times, grandparents, George and Connie Boudreau, grandmother, Sonia Kacher, step-grandmother, Andrea Jones and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends and his cat, Fiona. Patrick lived with compassion, curiosity, and courage, along with an unrelenting wit and dry humor. He had an extensive network of friends from around the world - a network that held him dear and looked after him. An avid consumer of news and politics, Patrick was always quick to share his thoughts and seek opinions. He enjoyed Russian novels, history, fishing, hockey, McDonalds and whoopie pies. Patrick was an honors student at University of Massachusetts Lowell studying Computer Science. Patrick was a kind and beautiful soul - he will be deeply missed by his family and friends. It is impossible to face the harsh reality of living without our Patrick in our lives. Patrick had worked long and hard to overcome his mental illness. It is essential to acknowledge and honor the progress he made while recognizing the struggle and toll it had on him. Mental illness is a silent epidemic. It will only be solved if we all acknowledge it and give it the attention and resources it deserves. This tragedy is a reminder that we as individuals need to show kindness to all - to talk, to listen, and to hear without judgement. It is also a reminder that we as a society need to better serve those that cannot always advocate for themselves. We need to fund mental illness treatment and recovery. We need services to facilitate active community participation and integration. Most importantly, we need to end the stigma associated with mental illness. This population is one that deserves attention and support; it is a population of incredible people, all too often leaving this world too early. "The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." - Elisabeth Kübler-Ross In lieu of flowers, please consider donating in Patrick's memory to the National Alliance of Mental Health - Massachusetts https://namimass.org/donate/ Services will be private to the family.

Amesbury - Mary Ellen Steeves (Curran) of Amesbury, MA passed away Tuesday, July 27th surrounded by her loving family. Words from her family: When describing our wife and mother, some might use adjectives like outspoken, opinionated and fiercely bold. And she was all of those things. She was passionate on many topics and didn't back down on her views. She was also the most generous person we've known, quick to put out a feast of food with the mere mention of someone coming to visit. She would, as the saying goes, give you the shirt off her back. She loved having a house full of guests, especially her kids, their friends and her "darlings" which she lovingly called her grandchildren. Her door was wide open for anyone needing a place to stay or even live. She was the ultimate host. Our wife and mother was a lover of loud music, animals and all things in nature and wanted to be outside as often as possible, even on the coldest winter days. She had city grit from growing up in South Boston and farmers blood from her years living in Maine. She would work in her gardens for hours on end even up until her last day. Her limitless energy was inspirational. We don't know anyone else like her, and we probably never will. To say she was the center of the family is an understatement. Losing her will leave a hole in all of our hearts forever. Mary is survived by her husband of 58 years, G. Scott Steeves of Amesbury, MA, her five children, G.Scott Steeves, Jr. and wife Madelyn (Youngman) of Framingham, MA,, Eric Steeves of Newbury, MA, Lori Steeves Haraske and husband David Haraske of Amesbury, MA., Sally Steeves of Amesbury, MA, Julie Steeves of Newburyport, MA., her "honorary sons" JP Moreland of Melbourne, Fla. and Wayne Grover of Newport, RI., and her nine grandchildren: MacKenzie Steeves, Audrey Steeves, Emily Schraer, Vaughn Steeves, Isabelle Steeves, Oliver Malone, Finnegan Malone, Adelaide Malone, Harrison Haraske, and her beloved Granddogs Lloyd & Norman. Mary is also survived by her brother, Walter Curran of Ocean View, DE and predeceased by her parents, Alford and Elizabeth Curran of South Boston, MA and her other siblings, Alford Curran, Jr., David Curran, Elizabeth (Betty) Curran and Dorothy Curran. A private Celebration of Life will be held for Mary with her loving family and friends. In lieu of flowers, Donations can be made to HopeWell - An organization to help care for local Massachusetts youth in foster care. https://hopewellinc.org/ Are by the E.V.

Newburyport - Beloved husband and father, Enrique Vicente Smeke passed away suddenly on August 24th, 2020 in Newburyport, MA. He was born on January 3, 1946 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the only child of Enrique and Ermelinda (Requena) Smeke. A lifelong student, Enrique had a great curiosity and a hunger for learning, and was always reading books. He was a thinker who loved ideas and looking for different perspectives. In his early years he went to school in Argentina for electrical engineering and then journalism. Years later he earned a degree in business administration from Principia College in Elsah, Il. A student of the teachings of Christ Jesus, Enrique devoted his life to understanding and sharing Christian Science. He served the Christian Science community as a Christian Science nurse and later became a Chistian Science practitioner. He worked for the Christian Science Publishing Society, and spent most of his career as editor of El Heraldo de la Ciencia Cristiana print magazine, and editor and host of a radio program by the same name. He became an authorized teacher of Christian Science in 2012. He traveled extensively in the Americas, as well as the Carribean, and Spain, giving church sponsored lectures on Christian Science. Enrique loved music and was an accomplished pianist. He loved to travel and would seek out art museums wherever he went. He loved to learn about cultures and languages. He would spend hours scanning the dial of a shortwave radio (pre internet) to see what he could hear from far away places. But it was the internet (Skype) that allowed him to reconnect with childhood friends and aunts, uncles, and cousins in another hemisphere. He had friends from around the world. These connections brought him great joy. His friends and acquaintances knew him as kind, thoughtful, humble, sincere: a gentleman. He kept us entertained with his sense of humor. He loved movies, steak with chimichurri, and Coca Cola. Enrique is survived by his wife, Susan (née Hansen) of Newburyport, MA; daughter, Lauren Smeke of Newburyport; son, Stephen Smeke of St. Petersburg, FL; cousins and an aunt in Argentina; all of whom he loved dearly.
